Hello,

Our server is running Solaris 10. It was upgraded from Solaris 8 in
March.
user1 can send email out to external account from the server and run
cron jobs.
However, we notice that /var/mail/user1 is not registering anyting
after an email
was sent, or any bounced back email or after the cron job is run. It
was working in Solaris 8. Any idea how we could fix this ?
Thanks, Bill

Assuming you're still using the stock sendmail, what do the log entries in
/var/adm/syslog or /var/adm/messages tell you?
