I was finally able to "solve" it by queueing mail from the webdaemon (from CGI scripts and such) into its own queue (that is, running messages off forms with "-odq -oQ/var/spool/webqueue" (and setting such as default in php.ini), and setting access rights for "/var/spool/webqueue" owned by the "nobody" user (Apache runs as nobody) as follows: drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody daemon 512 Jan 21 13:41 webqueue (would likely be user "www" in your case) I say "solve" because this does indeed make the permission errors go away, and things worked again; though I feel a more elegant solution may exist, I have not found it yet. - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
