Pine Issues
Updated 1,925 Days AgoPublic

If you ever run into an issue with Pine where it acts like it sends mail but actually doesn't:

Log in to alpine.cse.unr.edu: ssh <YOUR CSE_ID>@alpine.cse.unr.edu

Check to see if the postfix user exists:
getent passwd postfix

Check the status of the postfix service:
sudo systemctl status postfix

If it's not on, or if it's reporting errors, go ahead and restart the service (don't worry you won't break something that's already broken!):
sudo systemctl restart postfix

--and if for whatever reason the postfix service isn't enabled to start on boot-up (i.e. alpine gets reset):
sudo systemctl enable postfix
