reply to e-mail that has been issued using the shell account

Postby hafner on Sat Nov 04, 2006 6:06 pm

An e-mail issued on my shell account at Phoenix Networks arrives now (thanks[1]), and the From header field is then set automatically to hafner at users.phoenix-network.org (replace " at " by "@"). When I reply, nothing seems to happen: neither do I get an error message, nor do I get the reply in my spool file /var/mail/hafner . How do I manage to get the reply?

Also fixed. Though it seems a bit slow, maybe that's just me though.

Also, we use mbox at the moment so /home/user/mbox

Thanks for the fix, it's working now.

The e-mail for me appeared definitively in /var/mail/hafner, not in ~/mbox . If I execute mail (the only mail client accessible by shell I'm currently aware of), then the e-mail will be moved from /var/mail/hafner to ~/mbox when it it has been read - exept if I quit by typing exit. BTW: is it planned to install a more comfortable e-mail client, e.g. mutt?
