I'm trying to make a program that should send automatically mail to other users. It forks and the child part makes an exec to the mail program. All is fine except when I do setuid() and setgid() in order to look like another user (popuser, uid=1000). In that case I have the following messages: Jan 1 17:24:54 www sendmail[323]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: putoutmsg (NO-HOST): error on output channel sending "451 queuename: Cannot create "qfRAA00323" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=1000): Permission denied": Input/output error Jan 1 17:24:54 www sendmail[323]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: putoutmsg (NO-HOST): error on output channel sending "451 queuename: Cannot create "qfRAA00323" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=1000): Permission denied": Input/output error Jan 1 17:24:54 www sendmail[323]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(provapop): queuename: Cannot create "qfRAA00323" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=1000): Permission denied Jan 1 17:24:54 www sendmail[323]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(provapop): queuename: Cannot create "qfRAA00323" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=1000): Permission denied Note that if I send the mail after logging as "popuser" I don't have any problem, as well as I don't have any problem if the program makes setuid() like root. What should I do in order to look like another user? Many thanks, Tonino
