Hello All,

I have checked the permissions on my Dir's concerning Sendmail, and read
through as many tutorials as I can find but I am at a loss on how to fix
this problem.

I am running 3.4 release with Sendmail 8.9.3

Sendmail was working fine *before* I tried installing Qmail, I had read
that it would be easier to work with since I wont be pushing alot of mail
and such. I had followed the Directions on freebsddiary.org to make
sendmail nonactive and install Qmail. I then decided to keep sendmail for
whatever reason, so here is where I am now. :P

I basically backtracked the steps I had performed in making sendmail not
run, into making it run again. Once I was finished I went and tested it
with sending mail to various people. The following is what I found..

Root can send mail to anyone locally
Root can send mail to anyone remotely
My regular users get an error when they try to send mail either locally or
remotely.

The error: Apr 16 06:26:09 heretic
sendmail[728]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(asmo): cannot
chdir(/usr/var/spool/mqueue): Permission denied

My Dir permission for the mqueue is drwx------
per Sendmail from Oreily

I realize the error seems kind of obvious but Im at a loss to where I
should go to fix this.

My question is this..
Would it be easier to reinstall a new version of sendmail over this one,
and what would be the safest way to do this?
Is Qmail worth the trouble to install and use?

And last but not least, Does anyone know where I can fix these error? :)

Thanks, I hope to hear from someone!
Justin
