Since last year, I have a habit : send mail to myself (like write a diary)
In other distro, I simply using mail command and mail will sent successfully to another local account.
But in gentoo, I write and sent but it keep into folder
Code:
/var/spool/nullmailer/queue

I only using mailutils
So, what is the problem?
And how to fix?
Thanks.

You need to install an smtp server first like
Code:

mail-mta/postfix

Nullmailer only sends emails, it does not receive them.
I'm not sure it's even able to do local delivery, it's supposed to be used with an external mail server.
