I am running FreeBSD stable 4.7 and Sendmail 8.12.7. I am unable to send email. This is the error output: su-2.05$ collect: Cannot write ./dfh3MDwWTE001257 (bfcommit, uid=1001, gid=25): Permission denied queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfh3MDwWTE001257, uid=1001: Permission denied As you can see it is giving me a "permissions" error. I am not sure exactly how long this has been going on. I just noticed it yesterday. I double checked file and directory permissions and broke out the big bat book (O'Reilly's sendmail bible). I have not done much with the Sendmail install. I have created the access, virtual host files and edited the ailias file. When I built the sendmail.cf file I added two entries for dnsbl. At this point I am stuck. I hope that the answer is in front of me and just don't see it. I am sending this out to this list because it looks like my problem is not so much with sendmail as it is my system's permissions. Anybody got any ideas? I have included some ls -l output su-2.05$ ls -l /var/ drwxrwxrwt 2 root mail 512 Apr 22 11:05 mai drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 512 May 22 00:41 spoo su-2.05$ ls -l /var/spool/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Apr 22 11:00 mqueue su-2.05$ ls -l /etc/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 1024 Apr 16 10:29 mail su-2.05$ ls -l /etc/mail -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4491 Sep 18 2001 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 840 Sep 18 2001 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 32383 Apr 16 09:21 access -rw-r----- 1 root wheel 57344 Apr 16 10:29 access.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 411 Sep 18 2001 access.sample -rwx------ 1 root wheel 167 Apr 16 09:33 access.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2385 Apr 21 22:36 aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 32768 Apr 21 22:36 aliases.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 58342 Apr 15 23:01 frank.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4472 Apr 15 23:01 frank.mc -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 46632 Sep 18 2001 freebsd.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 46632 Apr 15 22:29 freebsd.cf-orig -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4472 Apr 15 22:35 freebsd.mc -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4267 Apr 15 22:13 freebsd.mc-orig -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 5573 Sep 18 2001 helpfile drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Apr 16 10:16 lists -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 389 Apr 16 09:48 local-host-names -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 316 Sep 18 2001 mailer.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 245 Sep 18 2001 mailertable.sample -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 416 Apr 16 09:36 relay-domains -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 58460 Apr 21 22:49 sendmail.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 46632 Apr 15 23:02 sendmail.cf-orig -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3062 Apr 16 09:42 virtusertable -rw-r----- 1 root wheel 32768 Apr 16 10:29 virtusertable.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 573 Sep 18 2001 virtusertable.sample -rwx------ 1 root wheel 193 Apr 16 10:29 virtusertable.sh dusk@bytch.net dusk@badseed.bytch.net "And so, it begins" - Kosh
