Any errors in your mail log?

[jasper]

no errors in mail log

And I can send mail from the server to admin@net.nl if I use:

sendmail admin@net.nl <test

I have postfix installed.

I found the problem.

I don't have a mail command just a sendmail command because of install postfix.

After installing mailx everything works fine.

Thanks and regards,

Jasper
