Hi,
I recently took over maintenance of at and am going over the open bug
reports. You reported quite some time ago, that at will not mail
command output for jobs queued by root when using ssmtp or courier-mta.
Is this still the case? If so, can you send mail to root using
/usr/sbin/sendmail?
On my system, root's mail is redirected to my own account (mwg) through
/etc/aliases :
root: mwg
so, the testcase is to submit at/batch job under root, and then you don't get
its output when you use courier-mta as sendmail.
# id

# echo echo test | batch

(output is not mailed from this job)
$ id

(for this job, I get the output well)
I did not try to trace every operation of atd daemon, though .
Only noted that with other MTAs like postfix, the output is mailed well from
both root and non-root jobs. Can not provide details about ssmtp as I don't use it.
