Hi everyone,
I'm having a strange problem with Majordomo 1.94.4 on DU 4.0 on an
Alphastation 500. We are using NIS/YP aliases, and I aliased majordomo to
the correct location on the mail server. When I send mail majordomo
(either via an email client or the command line), I don't get a response.
If I check the "Log" file in ~majordom, however, it says that it sent a
reply. Checking sendmail's logs give me this output:
Aug 25 12:06:42 harpo sendmail[169]: SMTP connect from basso [18.157.1.224]

Aug 25 12:06:46 harpo sendmail[232]: MAA00232: done
It's the 3rd entry from the bottom that puzzles me: "cannot
chdir(/var/spool/mqueue)"
At first, I figured it was a permissions problem, but even after I did
"chmod a+rwx /var/spool/mqueue) I still got the error.
I'm running sendmail 8.8.8
Does anyone know what the cause of this problem might be?
TIA,
Jonathan Reed
