Hi All,

I have a Redhat 9 box and I can't seem to get local mail to work.

I'd like to be able to simply run this command.
mail -s "hello" peter

This should send a message to local user peter (after I type in the message).

However, I get the following error, when I add the -v flag:

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


I have another Redhat 9 box that I can execute the above command on with no 
troubles.  As far as I can see both boxes are configured the same.
I don't have sendmail running on either machine, but I do not believe I 
need to have it running simply to deliver mail to local users.  I also have 
no firewall running (iptables, ipchains) on either machine.  These machines 
are strictly for internal use and are not even connected to the Internet, 
only the local LAN.

Any ideas???
Thanks,
Peter
