Hello,

I have a nagging problem with /usr/bin/mail on a FreeBSD 5.0 system.  When
I attempt to send a message using the mail client at the command line I'm
presented with the following:

ren# Mail -v steven@domain.name
Subject: test 1
testing
.
EOT
can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.

As background, I'm running MessageWall as a spam proxy in front of
sendmail but as far as I can recall this was happening before I installed
MessageWall.

I'd appreciate any help.

Regards,

Steve
