I think this is the problem - when at finishes a job it tries to send
a message through my mailserver to the address [EMAIL PROTECTED], instead
of just dropping it in my local mailbox, var/mail/tyler. At least,
that's what I think is happening. One of the messages I got is copied
below, in case I'm misinterpreting the message and headers. My
mailname is sedgenet, but my hostname is blackbart. Should these
match? They're both invented names, and don't correspond to an actual
mail server anywhere.
Thanks!
