"... as your `sendmail` seems to be much larger than mine -- but ... I guess it's okay." Sorry, I was not very explicit. I just meant that the file size difference of the `sendmail`s is probably irrelevant. The `sendmail` permissions are identical, so this cannot be the reason either. > Permissions on something is not set properly; for some undefined value > of âsomethingâ. > > Try reporting this to the Debian port maintainer; have the port > maintainer double-check the permissions and ownership of everything. I'll pester the Debian maintainer for it, but maybe you could give me more details on what permissions are required beyond the 'allfilters'/'filters' directories' and `sendmail` ones, which we've already confirmed to be correct? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
