Setting up my FC3 machine to receive 'mail' messages...

[Spudgun]

Hi,
I use LogCheck to keep an eye on my logs for me, and after it's ran it's supposed to send a report, using the command 'mail', to root.

However, my logs show that my machine isn't allowing this :-

to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=38083, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

Can anyone help at all?

Many thanks in advance.

this problem is very easy to soleve.......
justt open sendmail.cf and remove a line that starts like this
O Daemon options .......127.0.0.1 mta=smtp......
something like that.....i dont remember exactly but removing that line makes u send mail to all hosts......thats all!
enjoy...and let me know if it worked!
