I'm trying to setup a Linux box with notifications that would normally be sent to root being forwarded to someone else.

Code:
> echo "This is a test" | sendmail validemailaddress@someotherplace.com
(no errors)

Code:
> sendmail -Ac -bm -q -v
Running /var/spool/clientmqueue/hBHMOZvl001782 (sequence 1 of 1)
validemailaddress@someotherplace.com... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...
validemailaddress@someotherplace.com... Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

Now, if I have the sendmail daemon running, all is well. Does anyone know how to do this without having the sendmail daemon running?

Thanks for your help!
 
-bash: mail: command not found
It's not listed by "which". And I can only find sendmail when I search for mail.
