Hi All,

 

I tried to send a mail from my root user to another user configured on my
system. But the mail bounced was in the root's Inbox

The /var/log/maillog showed the following messages.

It was working till morning and the path shown was
/usr/home/project/Mailbox. I just tried to changed the
'mail_spool_directory' parameter in the main.cf file. But now I have
reverted back my changes and still it is not working

 

Regards,
