I see all sorts of uses of 'mail [...] root@localhost' which work great
when I look in /var/spool/mail/root. I have read the mail / mailx
documentation and tried sending mail to both root and my local account
and it works great. The man pages keep using examples like
"joe(a)somewhere.com", but when I try that with my email account
(name(a)whatever.edu), it fails (as in nothing happens and I sometimes get
resend errors). I can ping
whatever.edu successfully.
I am certain this is a stupid pilot error, but can't figure it out.
Any suggestions?
What is the MX record for whatever.edu?
host -t mx
whatever.edu
