Yes, mine works too. 2.1.14 from Blastwave and 2.1.14 compiled from source.
Make sure you have a cfexecd.conf file that looks something like this:
control:
smtpserver = (mail.yourdomain.com ) # used by cfexecd
sysadm = ( admin@yourdomain.com ) # where to mail output

Subject: Re: No email output - cfengine-2.1.14
my cfexecd does send email. it's 2.1.14 from blastware.
0,30 * * * * /opt/csw/sbin/cfexecd -F
I had 2.1.13 from sunfreeware, it was not sending any email because it was
dumping core.
check ~root for cores, check maillog (on smtpserver) for email attempts.

Hi Dmitry,
This was originally titled for RH-AS but since upgrading my Solaris from
2.1.11 to 2.1.14 it now also applies.
You are correct in that cfexecd is responsible to sending the email. So
now I'm looking at/into cfexecd just not sure what to look for/at. As I
mentioned earlier, 2.1.11 used to email without any problems so the
configs should be correct for 2.1.14.
Question: Will cfexecd still email if run from cron using '-F'? Or is
it the admin's responsibility to redirect the output and email?
