I am unable to receive mail on my NetBSD 0.9.
I am able to SEND mail though. The cf file is the one that comes with
the source in usr/src/usr.sbin etc.
When i send mail locally (i.e to myself or anyone else on the m/c)
the mail is stored in the spool/mqueue, but nothing appears in the
spool/mail.
The verbose mode of Mail claims the mail has been sent. Only,
it is never received.
When i send mail over the net (from other nodes), i get
x . y . z domainname not found and the mail ends up in dead.letter.
What should i do to set it right?
