Hi Ben,
Check the permissions and mode bits of the directory...
then compare that to what user your sendmail system is running as and if
that user has
rwx access to the dir.
That's one of the first things I looked at, and I don't see where the
problem is. In sendmail.cf I have:
# default UID (can be username or userid:groupid)
O DefaultUser=8:12
In my password file, this is the user mail:
mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/sbin/nologin
I have this commented out in sendmail.cf:
# what user id do we assume for the majority of the processing?
#O RunAsUser=sendmail
Permissions on /var/spool/clientmqueue are as follows:
drwxrwx--- 2 mail mail 4096 Feb 28 13:13 clientmqueue
The error message I am seeing looks to me like it's complaining about the
defang user not having permission to access /var/spool/mqueue and I'm pretty
certain that the defang user shouldn't be the owner of
/var/spool/clientmqueue

Mar 8 09:11:21 Raydeus-Dee sendmail[17956]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(defang): can
not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
I think maybe my thinking is screwey here? What might I have overlooked?
