	The two lines you suggested I add to my .cf file idn't work,
	Bill, but it was a  start at least.  ....
	Somehow I managed to screw up even incoming mail on 
	sage==ns1.  And most or all of my other internal servers 
	are hosed too. TO get mail flowing again, at least incoming, I
	retrieved that last sendmail from RCS and restarted mail.

	I'm hoping that somebody can clue me in. It may be a peermissions problem. But where/ and why would this  be
	a SYSERR problem. For instance, from my new server, when I try to send mail to my DNS server, the following is what is 
	reported in maillog:



Jan  4 13:25:45 tao sendmail[18706]: m04LPjIr018706: SYSERR(kline): collect: Cannot write ./dfm04LPjIr018706 (bfcommit, uid=1004, gid=25): Permission denied
Jan  4 13:25:45 tao sendmail[18706]: m04LPjIr018706: from=kline, size=543, class=0, nrcpts=1, relay=kline at localhost
Jan  4 13:25:45 tao sendmail[18706]: m04LPjIr018706: SYSERR(kline): queueup: cannot create queue file ./qfm04LPjIr018706, euid=1004, fd=-1, fp=0x0: Permission denied


	Anybody know how I messed up? ---This is no excuse, but because 
	of the recent build problems I did wholesale ``portupgrades -af''
	(**sigh**)

	Why cannot creat the queue files??

	gary
