 +====== Common Problems ======
 +
 +== Make sure user is in group mail ==
 +  * Type:
 +<code bash>
 +groups
 +</​code>​
 +
 +== Check permissions on the outbox file==
 +  *  Note if you ever send mail as root you will screw up the permissions.
 +    * Check your permissions in your outbox directory like this:
 +<code bash>
 +ls -salt /​usr/​local/​var/​wl2k/​outbox/​
 +total 16
 +4 drwxrwsr-x 2 gunn mail 4096 Sep 21 16:48 .
 +4 -rw------- 1 gunn mail  214 Sep 21 16:48 V1IRQZ_N7NIX
 +4 drwxrwsr-x 3 gunn mail 4096 Sep 21 15:55 ..
 +4 -rw------- 1 gunn mail  196 Sep 21 15:55 H51W38_N7NIX
 +</​code>​
 +<code bash>
 +ls -salt /​usr/​local/​var/​wl2k/​
 +total 20
 +4 drwxrwsr-x 2 gunn mail   4096 Sep 21 16:48 outbox
 +4 drwxrwsr-x 3 gunn mail   4096 Sep 21 15:55 .
 +8 -rw------- 1 gunn mail  12288 Sep 21 15:55 mid.db
 +4 drwxr-sr-x 4 root staff  4096 Jul  7 12:49 ..
 +</​code>​
 +
 +== Check /​etc/​postfix/​transport file ==
 +  * Note hactar is the local machine & brox is a machine on my local net.
 +    * The last line is important
 +<​file>​
 +# cat transport
 +#
 +localhost ​     :
 +hactar ​      ​local:​
 +hactar.localnet ​ local:
 +brox smtp:​[brox.localnet]
 +brox.localnet smtp:​[brox.localnet]
 +#
 +*         ​wl2k:​localhost
 +</​file>​
 +
 +== Make sure you are addressing To: person with winlink.org ==
 +
 +== Make sure your /​etc/​postfix/​master.cf entry is correct especially user ==
 +  * Example:
 +<​file>​
 +wl2k      unix  -       ​n ​      ​n ​      ​- ​      ​1 ​     pipe
 +  flags=XFRhu user=gunn argv=/​usr/​local/​libexec/​mail.wl2k -m
 +</​file>​
 +
 +== Open 2 console windows for debugging ==
 +  * In one console window type:
 +<code bash>
 +tail -f /​var/​log/​mail.log
 +</​code>​
 +
 +  * In another console window type:
 +
 +<​code>​
 +echo "test mail from command line" | mutt -s "​Test12:​56"​ n7nix@winlink.org
 +</​code>​
 +  * or using the //mail// program
 +<code bash>
 +# from command line or script
 +echo “This will go into the body of the mail” | mail -s '//​WL2K cmd line test' -a "From: yourcallsign@winlink.org"​ -a "​Reply-To:​ yourcallsign@winlink.org"​ some_regular_email_address
 +</​code>​
 +  *  [[plu:​email_client_config#​mutt_and_mail | Link to set up]] //mutt// or //mail//
 +  * Look for problems in the /​var/​log/​mail.log file
 +    * Open up another console window and do this:
 +<code bash>
 +tail -f /​var/​log/​mail.log
 </​code>​ </​code>​
