When scripts send local mails if it's called like
echo "To: root"; snort-stat -a < /var/log/snort/alert |sendmail -t it returns To: root empty recipient list Logwatch for example works, it sends through mailx Is this a bug ? |

You are missing the MAIL FROM. Set
AllowNullSender 1 in server.tab and restart XMail. -------------------- Bye,

Make sure, that sendmail was correctly replaced by XMail.
