Thanks in advance for any help. Sounds like you didn't run mergemaster and install /etc/mail/submit.cf. The permissions on /var/spool/mqueue should be: drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Jun 24 13:53 /var/spool/mqueue or: drwx------ 2 root daemon 512 Jun 24 13:53 /var/spool/mqueue To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
