Thanks for all the explanations.

No... OK, so the problem is acutally sendmail. My bad.

It seems to me that sendmail is not accepting local smtp connections:

Sep 29 14:00:06 coral sm-msp-queue[11799]: o8THO6vW011692: to=test@email.com, ctladdr=me (myid/mygrp), delay=00:36:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=210140, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

Sep 29 14:00:06 coral sm-msp-queue[11799]: o8TAT6ga009319: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=07:31:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=2100639, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

On googling for the cure, I found some posts that suggest to
tweak daemon options. Here is my current setting:

root@coral:/etc/mail# grep smtp *.mc
sendmail.mc:dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet6, Name=MTA-v6, Port=smtp, Addr=::1')dnl
sendmail.mc:DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Name=MTA-v4, Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1')dnl
sendmail.mc:MAILER(`smtp')dnl

$ grep DaemonPortOptions *.cf
sendmail.cf:O DaemonPortOptions=Family=inet, Name=MTA-v4, Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1
sendmail.cf:O DaemonPortOptions=Family=inet, Name=MSP-v4, Port=submission, M=Ea, Addr=127.0.0.1
submit.cf:O DaemonPortOptions=Name=NoMTA, Addr=127.0.0.1, M=E

Anything wrong with it?

How can I enable sendmail to accept local smtp connections for
apps like emacs? (sendmail from the command line works fine)

Thanks.

because of the sendmail service is not started (this is a new install).

update-rc.d sendmail defaults
invoke-rc.d sendmail start

problem solved.
