Re: Worried about Exim, my mail is dissappearing?

[Sonny Kupka <sonny@nothnbut.net>]

I found my local users mail by using:

mailq |more

Instead of delivering to /var/mail/username it help it in mail queue 
because it was checking if the user had a .forward file in ~username since 
it couldn't find ~username it just held it..
