sendmail issue

[rvaede]

I have sendmail configured on a redhat 5.
I have configured the /etc/aliases file to forward the root emails to
my account or work account:
root: ***@yahoo.com

I am able to send andemail from the command line using mail -s "title"
"***@address" < test without issues.

A cron job runs everyhour to send ane mail to root and this is what I
get:

Feb 24 15:48:56 console01 sm-msp-queue[25729]: q1OAvBqs011391:
to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=09:51:45, xdelay=00:00:00,
mailer=relay, pri=2190343, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0,
stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

Why am I able to send ane email using the command line without
problems the other way it fails?

You should ask this in the sendmail group, it has nothing to do with
TCP/IP.
