I am running 3.4 release with Sendmail 8.9.3 Sendmail was working fine *before* I tried installing Qmail, I had read that it would be easier to work with since I wont be pushing alot of mail and such. I had followed the Directions on freebsddiary.org to make sendmail nonactive and install Qmail. I then decided to keep sendmail for whatever reason, so here is where I am now. :P I basically backtracked the steps I had performed in making sendmail not run, into making it run again. Once I was finished I went and tested it with sending mail to various people. The following is what I found.. Root can send mail to anyone locally Root can send mail to anyone remotely My regular users get an error when they try to send mail either locally or remotely. The error: Apr 16 06:26:09 heretic sendmail[728]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(asmo): cannot chdir(/usr/var/spool/mqueue): Permission denied My Dir permission for the mqueue is drwx------ per Sendmail from Oreily I realize the error seems kind of obvious but Im at a loss to where I should go to fix this. My question is this.. Would it be easier to reinstall a new version of sendmail over this one, and what would be the safest way to do this? Is Qmail worth the trouble to install and use? And last but not least, Does anyone know where I can fix these error? :) Thanks, I hope to hear from someone!
