I am setting up a new firewall/caching-proxy/etc. with FreeBSD 4.6 and ran into a quirk that I don't know how to deal with. I want to send the output of periodic scripts (/etc/periodic/daily, weekly, etc.) to an address on another machine. So I edited /etc/mail/aliases to include "root: foo@bar.net" and ran newaliases. I have /etc/rc.conf's sendmail_enable="NO" because I don't want incoming email and I don't want another MTA but I do want to route local email. But the email sent locally to a foreign computer's address isn't received. Instead, I get this in the firewall's /var/log/maillog: Jun 24 08:00:35 cerberus sm-mta[99845]: g5K713Jl087223: to=<root@firewall.bar.net>, delay=4+04:59:32, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=18570406, relay=firewall.bar.net., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by firewall.bar.net. Does this mean that setting /etc/rc.conf's sendmail_enable="NO" prevents me from sending emails from cron scripts to foo@bar.net (which is on a node other than firewall.bar.net) or that there is something else that I'm over-looking?
