Operating System: FreeBSD 4.6-RC #5
PHP Version: 4.2.1
New Comment:
Try: su - nobody (or whatever your web user id is) and then run the
sendmail command configured in your php.ini file. Most likely
"sendmail -t -i" on a text file that has the various headers and a body
in it. See if that works. My guess is that you will have the same
problem in which case PHP is completely out of the picture.

AAaarrgh. I believe you. I also believe what I'm seeing, which is that
sendmail, when invoked by PHP, fails with the error. Perhaps it is a
sendmail configuration problem, but I've checked and rechecked it over
and over again, and everything appears to match the sendmail/SECURITY
document.

Nowhere in the mail() code do we do a chdir(). We fetch the
sendmail_cmd as configured in the php.ini file, play a bit with the
mail() function arguments to get them into the right format and then we
open a pipe to the configured sendmail_cmd using a popen() call. Then
we fprintf() the data to that open pipe and finally pclose(). If
something is doing a chdir() it is not PHP.

Ok, let's see what we can do here. Btw, I still think it's an issue not
related to PHP.
However, try to strace the PHP binary and see if it's really doping the
chdir() itself

Not true. I've confirmed all the sendmail settings, including the
setuid bit for the sendmail group. For some reason, something in PHP is
trying to chdir to /var/spool/mqueue, which is owned by root and does
not have group/world read or write permissions. The problem ONLY occurs
with PHP mail().

This is a configuration issue with Sendmail, not with PHP. PHP is just
invoking the sendmail binary (which probably isn't setuid for
/var/spool/mqueue).
