Hi, I am trying to use sendmail to send emails from a php script (I tried phpmailer and mail function with the same result).
I always got messages like "Could not execute: /usr/sbin/sendmail" Sendmail is World executable: # ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Jan 3 02:57 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/sbin/mailwrapper So I've checked into /var/log/messages and found this: Apr 11 18:09:44 dev sendmail[38340]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(www): can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied I've checked permissions on the /var/spool/clientmqueue/ directory # ls -al /var/spool/clientmqueue/ drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 3 Apr 11 19:01 . So I saw that only the user and group smmsp could write to this directory. I presumed the apache user should have access to it so I added "www" to the "smmsp" directory. I then got a different error in /var/log/messages Apr 11 19:38:40 dev sendmail[41170]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(www): can not write to queue directory /var/spool/clientmqueue/ (RunAsGid=0, required=25): Permission denied I found very old threads saying to change the group of apache to "smmsp" but I doubt it's a good idea. Chmodding 777 the /var/spool/clientmqueue/ fixed the problem, I can now send emails, but I wonder if this is the way to fix the issue correctly. Is that the official fix or did I missed some configuration somewhere ? Sending emails from php using mail or sendmail should be something working out of the box I guess, I doubt we're supposed to change permissions to make it work Any help would be appreciated.
