I already installed and configured te postfix and dovecot in th emacj=hine. but when i start seding mail to my self after creating a new user nanme rocky. it works untill message body. after entering dot(.) in the next line it should show the EOT in the next line and email should be sent. BUT the problem is it dont show me EOT when i enter (.) and dosent finish the email process. and after pressing ctrl+c twice i can get out of this thing. and when i check the delivery of my mail by typing mail it shows no mail for you, like that.
