Hi Sam, I'm running a courierfilter to filter incoming mail right at the SMTP dialog. Unfortunately, since I have been doing this, I cannot use `sendmail` as an unprivileged user (!= root, != daemon) anymore:
$ echo test | sendmail $my_address 432 Mail filters temporarily unavailable. sendmail: Unable to submit message. These are the permissions on the courierfilter socket directories and the socket of my courierfilter: $ cd /var/lib/courier/ $ ls -lad allfilters filters drwxr-x--- 2 daemon daemon 4096 2003-12-05 23:00 allfilters drwxr-x--- 2 daemon daemon 4096 2003-12-05 23:00 filters $ sudo ls -la allfilters allfilters: srwxr-xr-x 1 daemon daemon 0 2003-12-05 23:00 myfilter.pl I think the socket(s) would need to be accessible (readable? writable? executable?) for unprivileged users (maybe for a dedicated "cansendmail" group?) for them to be able to successfully send mail using `sendmail`. Am I right? If so, is this a design oversight, or is it even "by design"? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
