Hi Giorgos,
Several questions:
> For root using mail -f /var/mail/root gives the following output:
Did you run this command as root, or as another user?
> //var/mail/root: 0 messages/
What are these slashes at the beginning and end of each output line?
Are they really displayed on your screen or do you add them manually
for some purpose?
> For a user, which belongs to mail group, using mail -f
> /var/mail/$USER, i can see the messages.
What is the owner/group and permissions on that file?
Regards,
Sergey
