ISSUE
Yesterday i installed an script on my Webmin linux server but it sends no email, do you know whats the problem ?
SOLUTION
Question is what kind of mail agent (mail transfer agent - MTA) you have installed.
when doing command: top
in linux command line, it can show the processes.
or Webmin/System/Bootup and Shutdown can give idea?
QMail: http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/QMailConfiguration
Sendmail: http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/SendmailConfiguration
Postfix: http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/PostfixConfiguration
For the Postfix, there is quite complex tutorial. Please read this tutorial to learn on how to configure Postfix (mailserver, lightweight Sendmail replacement) on Webmin server.

(http://postfixmail.com/blog/index.php/using-webmin-to-set-up-postfix/)
That tutorial sumarized:
make sure postfix is running
/etc/init.d/postfix start
/etc/init.d/postfix stop
/etc/init.d/postfix reload
backup /etc/postfix/main.cf
cp /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main_backup.cf
edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
("a" key to start editing; "Ctrl+C" to stop editing; ":wq" to save changes and quit editor; ":q!" to quit without saving changes)
Reload postfix
/etc/init.d/postfix reload
If above short guide dont works, please use the full guide (link above). The full guide is also uploaded there (https://mega.co.nz/#!gssyjYpL!Tb326DtptVubyiqa6ykKjim-93geu4KPtci_ducayUg) as a backup.
