I tried again carefully, it's really just typed as above one.
when I only type the mail command with out any option,
It says,
No mail for root

when I try the same command, the system answer is,
smmsp 764 0.0 0.0 3404 1420 ? S Apr22 0:00 [sendmail]
root 21056 0.0 0.0 4572 660 pts/1 S 14:15 0:00 grep sendmail
