Another interesting thing is that if "root" user try send > mail with elm job finish corectly :( Any sugestion? it IS interesting ... and that should clue you in to thinking about permissions and/or your PATH. (assuming your init files are the same bewtween root and user). check log files. try to break your problem down. try sendmail by itself. does it work? (probably not) if so, probably your problem is with elm files. i'm sorry i couldn't help with an clear answer, but if root works things OK, your problem shouldn't be too complicated.
