how do i do that in debian?
Note, I don't use Debian.
The mail log will almost certainly be under /var/log and will be titled something starting with "mail". There may be multiple files (mail.info, mail.err etc).
Checking the mail server depends on what you have installed, Sendmail, Postfix, Exim (or something else). You'll probably find that "mailq" will work, but may not.
Try sending a mail from the command line - see what happens.
Of course, that you're asking suggests that you may not even have a local SMTP server, never mind have it correctly configured. I suggest you take a trip to the Debian mailing lists/forums/whatever and get help there in getting your SMTP server installed and configured.
