Why wasn't dead.letter file generated in the sender's home directory.

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I am using sendmail in my host.
  • When a mail with a wrong recipient is sent from a local user with mailx command, the dead.letter file should be generated in the sender's home directory.
  • But, it was not created on my host. Why did it happen?
