A good thing to do w/ workstations, if you want to send system messages,
etc. but don't want a listening smtp server running.

Speaking of which, (topic fork) I'm having trouble doing this on a
debian stable (woody) workstation.  Syslog indicates the connection was
refused to 127.0.0.1.  Tried adding RELAY entries for localhost and
127.0.0.1 in /etc/mail/access (then make access.db and newaliases, etc.)
to no avail.  Sendmail running as a daemon works fine, but it won't work
via crontab, which is all I want in this case.

Any ideas?
