I have a problem running sendmail V8.6.12 from within a program that I
use for canned replies in my mail system. Here is the scenario :
1) customer sends mail from remote PC/MAC using POP3 to main
mail server
2) mail message is delivered to user "support" which is an alias
for a canned reply program written in Perl.
3) the Perl program strips apart the message, sends an automated reply
back to the user, and forwards the mail onto a list of support people.
4) when the Perl program tries running sendmail (Berkeley version) the syslog
file shows the following error :
Jun 15 11:06:57 longtail sendmail[12796]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(daemon):
queuename: Cannot create "qfLAA12796" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=1):
Permission denied
Now, when I change the pointer to the sendmail program from the Berkeley
one to the old one shipped with Digital OSF/1 V2.0, the whole thing works
just fine. I have checked all the ownerships, privs etc and they are
identical. I cannot see what else I can do apart from taking apart the
source code to the Berkeley Sendmail and trying to figure it out. I
really don't want to do this as I would be getting in way over my head.
Thanks for any advice,
Neil :-)
