There are many people who have the problem, and everyone's response is that there are file/folder permission problems. I cannot find any file permission problems. The problem is only sending locally with the program /usr/bin/mail. Inbound recieving mail is OK. Procmail even sorts properly. Sending outgoing mail is OK. Sending locally with mutt even works. I have tried to pick at this problem every 6 months or so, each time with no result. Any idea would be helpful.
