Just to be clear that it's failing delivery, and not a problem in
reading:  You've looked into the /var/mail/root and /var/mail/chris
files to see nothing being added?  (Use a text reader, like "less".)

Check /var isn't too full?  Show us the permissions and ownership of the
directory and files, include the SELinux contexts.

e.g. The outputs from:

df -h /var/mail
ls -ld /var/mail
ls -ldZ /var/mail
ls -l /var/mail
ls -lZ /var/mail
