That's worth knowing - do you know how big the buffer is likely to be? I'm thinking worst case of a 10 MB zip in an email, maybe expanding to 20 MB. >All I can suggest is patching rc.d/sendmail to fix the permissions before >starting sendmail.

Looks like it's an issue with the compat mode for older versions of mount_mfs. Disabling the default of compat mode for being called as mount_mfs solves my problem. I'll probably look to providing a patch that allows compat mode to be disabled at run time. >If you want responses sent to the mailing list, you should set the >Reply-To header to point to the mailing list rather than a random >address. If I only posted to one mailing list I would. However I post to a number and I really doubt that this list wants to see the traffic for amavis-users etc :) I'm just fed up of people paying no attention to the lines below and CCing me on everything - I've never found getting the same email twice to have any benefit. Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
