Re: sendmail: fatal message, sudo bash

I'd guess sudo is configured to send mail in some situations.
And that the parameters to the program are not what postfix expects.

Hello

I successfully converted my mta from sendmail to postfix.
no problem. mail is ok.

A by-product of that, as bizarre as it may seem is this:


As regular user, when I do 'su -' to become root, all is well.


As regular user, when I do 'sudo bash' I become root alright but I also get: sendmail: fatal: Recipient addresses must be specified on the command line or via the -t option



I tried many things ranging from temporarily swapping  sendmail.postfix to
messing around with /etc/profile and /etc/skel/* and many other things.

How can I address the annoying message above?


Thanks,
Farid
