I tried using tmail as a drop-in replacement for mail.local with sendmail under FreeBSD 5.1 because my users' inboxes are in mbx format. My problem is that when my daily cron jobs run, the output is sent to my root account but the messages are deferred with the following error: tmail[61281]: mail to root prohibited (tmail works fine with other accounts)
I noticed that tmail.c states: "big security hole if this is allowed" where it fails with this message if mail is being sent to root. First of all, why is this a security hole and secondly, how can I use tmail with sendmail and still have my cron messages (and other mail sent to root) go to my root mailbox?
