Hello,
I have a nagging problem with /usr/bin/mail on a FreeBSD 5.0 system. When
I attempt to send a message using the mail client at the command line I'm
presented with the following:
ren# Mail -v steven at domain.com
Subject: test 1
testing
.
EOT
can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.
My guess is that this involves interaction between mail and sendmail
re: how sendmail is called. As background, I'm running MessageWall as a
spam proxy in front of sendmail but as far as I can recall this was
happening before I installed MessageWall.
I'd appreciate any help.
Regards,
Steve
