Hi...

  When running RH 9.0, do I need to have sendmail running to just
send mail out?  W./out it running, I get a 

$ mail -v root
Subject: test

Cc: 
root... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...
root... Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

And /var/log/maillog shows :

Jul 23 13:18:48 hostname sendmail[26485]: h6NHImgr026485: to=root, ctladdr=testuser 
(111/10), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30024, relay=[127.0.0.1] 
[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]


With it running, all is fine.

>From what I've seen on the net, it appears that sendmail when running on a 
RH 8 or 9 host, it only accepts incoming from localhost, which is fine for
me if I have to run it as a daemon.  

If I don't have to run it as a daemon, it would be better.

Thanks....
