When I login as root to check mail messages sent from cron I get nothing.
On my RH 7.3 system it works fine but not on my RH 9.0 system.

I don't run the sendmail daemon on the RH 7.3 system but local mail works
but
not on the RH 9.0 system.

How can I get local mail to work without running sendmail as a daemon?

The relay settings in the latest sendmail may be the problem, this is the
error I get....

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mail]# sendmail -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]


Also, when I do start the sendmail daemon, all of the previous messages
magically show up.   

I've looked at the release notes and played with the following option...
commented it out, etc....

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl  

So what's the magic setting to allow local mail from cron jobs to work
without running sendmail as a daemon?

Thanks

David
