Seems likely. Having /var/spool/mqueue owned by the Apache daemon would be something most folk wouldn't want to do, IMO... ]I've noticed a new directory under /var/spool which is named ]/clientmqueue. What is this for? I'm sure somebody will correct me if I am wrong: this is the queue used by the smmsp (SendMail Mail Submission Process) daemon, which was added somewhat recently to Sendmail. Basically the idea is that local submission of messages to Sendmail can be moved to port 587 (I believe) in order to seperate it from port 25 traffic; this would allow tweaking of various parameters for performance and/or security reasons. Also, which Sendmail version was included in FreeBSD 4.5 and which is included in 4.7? <kadmin@archangell> [/home/kadmin] [8:19] #telnet 127.0.0.1 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.
