Um, what makes it hard is that you haven't told us your mailer or how you have it configured. I checked your message headers and the mailer doesn't appear there either. Strange... I'm using Mutt. My email appears in: /var/spool/mail/$USER My ISP is a POP3 server and Mutt picks up mail fine; I told it the pop_user and pop_host. My problem is the opposite of yours: I can't send out anything. The ISP tells me I should send through smtp.comcast.net but I can't find where to insert that name. Strange because I had no problem on Red Hat 8.
