Um, I don't have truss and the other knowledgeable people looked at me and
asked if I wanted to build a building. What does truss do, so I can try to find
a similar command...
FYI I'm running: Cobalt Linux release 4.0 (Fargo) Kernel 2.0.34

I'll check that out - it'll take me a bit though... But, why would I be getting
the same error message for bounces, since they would be run from one of
the qmail users, right?

Could this be part of the problem? Do I need to add one of the qmail users
to the home group, or httpd to the qmail group?
