That's right, but AT and CRON can't send mails without SENDMAIL
configured and running. The OS user receives the mail, but when the
~/.forward file is read, appears this entry in /var/log/syslog:
Feb 20 12:14:06 dunland sendmail[28456]: [ID 801593 mail.info]
k1KBE673028456: from=root, size=232, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200602201114.k1KBE673028456@dunland.cjap.junta-andalucia.es>,
relay=root@localhost
Feb 20 12:14:06 dunland sendmail[28456]: [ID 801593 mail.info]
k1KBE673028456: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/1), delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30232, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1],
dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
Will someone please clarify why this happens ?
Thanks.
