[rhelv5-list] Error while writing to file /var/mail/nkj

2008-03-27 Thread Nick Jennings
Hi Everyone, I have a strange problem, where when I get an email which was originally sent to root, which expands in the /etc/aliases file to my user account (nkj), procmail is unable to open the file for writing. However I can receive emails which have been sent directly to the nkj account.

Hi Barry and Sam, thanks for your replies, SELinux has actually been disabled for some time due to other issues, so that's not the cause of this problem. Originally, other mail for nkj was being delivered fine, only mail expanded from the root alias was failing. However, now I've checked the

In my experience, the user postfix runs as needs to be able to write to the file. Permissions of 600 only allow nkj to write to that file. We use sendmail on our RH boxes, however, on a debian box I have that runs postfix, the permissions on the mail spools is 660 with the user as owner and
