Sorry for sending this through Hotmail, I didnt have much of a choice. Also 
CC me a copy of anything you post about this because my server can't receive 
mail either.


Reacently sendmail has decided to stop sending mail because of a permissions 
problem, I'm guessing a few permissions were changed when the power went out 
during the last storm.

[kaput]:~$ sendmail -v bsd_beats_ms@hotmail.com
subject: test
this is a test
collect: Cannot write ./dfj03FWkOn005035 (bfcommit, uid=1008, gid=1001): 
Permission denied

Originaly this gave out two permission denied errors but I cleaned that up 
by changing the permissions of /var/spool/mqueue which was originally owend 
by root:wheel. I've tryied changing clientqueue but that hasnt had any 
affect.

ls of /var/spool
drwxrwx---  2 smmsp  smmsp   1024 Jan  4 01:48 clientmqueue/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root   wheel    512 Feb 11  2004 ftp/
drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp   daemon   512 Nov  9 20:40 lock/
drwxrwxr-x  4 root   wheel    512 Oct  2 13:48 lpd/
drwxrwxr-x  2 smmsp  smmsp    512 Jan  4 02:03 mqueue/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root   wheel    512 Oct  2 13:46 output/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root   wheel    512 Feb 11  2004 postfix/
drwxrwxrwx  2 root   wheel    512 Feb 11  2004 sockets/
drwxr-xr-x  2 uucp   daemon   512 Feb 11  2004 uucp/
drwxrwxrwt  2 uucp   daemon   512 Feb 11  2004 uucppublic/

I cant seem to clear up that permission denied message. Sendmail is owned by 
root:smmsp and has a set group ID bit. Uid 1008 is my user account, gid 1001 
is smmsp.

Does anyone have any hints?

Thanks.
