Sendmail Error
 

Default install of RHEL AS 3.0
sendmail version 8.12.10-1

Trying to send an email and I get the following error in /varlog/maillog

Nov 4 09:01:28 servername sendmail[12467]: iA4H1SCV012467: to=whoever@domain.com, ctladdr=whatever (whatever/groupid), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30059, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

I verified that 127.0.0.1 is listed in /etc/mail/access and hosts. Still I cannot send any email unless sendmail is started in daemon mode.. Any ideas?

well you must have the sendmail daemon running if you want to send or receive mails.

argh
 

yes sendmail is running, but I configured /etc/sysconfig/sendmail to
DAEMON=no
