Here's the situation:
I have a user named user and want root to send user mail. user is actually on the local system.
Here's what I do:

#mailx -s &quot;Hey&quot; user < letter

letter is a text file I created with a message in it.

I switch users to user and check his mail:
#mailx
No mail for user.

Are there any additional steps that I should be taking? Thanks.
