Dear group, Poking through my maillog, I'm seeing log entries that appear below. As I read mimedefang.pl, there are a few places where it looks like MIMEDefang is originating new messages, and sending them, addressed from the defang user, using the "-f" switch for sendmail.
In which case, it is failing to write the message to my /var/spool/mqueue directory, which has the following perms: drwxr-xr-x 2 root mail 299008 Mar 11 16:20 mqueue Should I make the "defang" user a member of group "mail", and open up write privalegdes to the group, on the mqueue directory? Thanks for any advice.
