I am interested in sending mail locally on the system. When I use the acme mail client to mail myself or to mail glenda I get errors: Mail from 'newsham' to 'newsham' failed with error 'Invalid address'. saved in /mail/box/newsham/dead.letter I followed the wiki's directions for creating mailboxes. I noticed that this creates files with slightly different permissions than the glenda box: term% ls -l . newsham glenda d-rwxrwxr-x M 9 glenda glenda 0 May 22 2002 ./glenda d-rwxrwxr-x M 9 newsham upas 0 Jul 31 16:05 ./newsham -lrw-rw-rw- M 9 newsham upas 0 Sep 25 2002 newsham/L.mbox --rw-rw---- M 9 newsham upas 167 Jul 31 16:07 newsham/dead.letter alrw--w--w- M 9 newsham upas 0 Sep 25 2002 newsham/mbox -lrw-rw-rw- M 9 glenda glenda 0 Apr 13 2002 glenda/L.mbox a-rw-rw--w- M 9 glenda glenda 10699 Apr 22 2002 glenda/mbox Which is right? What needs to be done to allow sending to local boxes? Tim N.
