The rc.conf file has sendmail_enable="NO" and it does start when the system boots up. I can, as root, send a message direct from the command line and it is sent successfully. But when I try to have a message sent from a web page it errors out with this permissions error - May 17 09:08:17 www sendmail[18900]: i4HG8HZC018900: SYSERR(www): collect: Cannot write ./dfi4HG8HZC018900 (bfcommit, uid=80, gid=25): Permission denied May 17 09:08:17 www sendmail[18900]: i4HG8HZC018900: SYSERR(www): queueup: cannot create queue file ./qfi4HG8HZC018900, euid=80: Permission denied I don't know what to do, I've set up previous versions of FBSD and haven't had this problem before. The version I am running is 5.2.1. Sendmail is only needed to send outbound messsages for apache/php. I tried the php mail() function but it errors out - Failed to send to chip.wiegand@simrad.com. Could not instantiate mail(). Please help. Thanks, Chip PS, I have been trying to subscribe to the list but never get a mail after submitting the form. In fact, I am not getting any messages from the freebsd.org system to my corporate email account. __________________________________________________________________ Introducing the New Netscape Internet Service.
