The code is in vdelivermail.c in two places:
1) void deliver_mail(char *deliverto, struct passwd *pw_data)
sprintf(tmp_file,"tmp/%lu.%d.%s",tm,pid,hostname);
if ((mailfile = creat(tmp_file,S_IREAD | S_IWRITE)) == -1)
failtemp ("Can't create tempfile (#4.3.0)\n");
2) char *email_it(deliverto)
sprintf(tmp_file,"/tmp/%lu.%d.%s",tm,pid,hostname);
if ((mailfile = creat(tmp_file,S_IREAD | S_IWRITE)) == -1)
failtemp ("Can't create tempfile (#4.3.0)\n");
Notice that this places the temp file in /tmp...
Perhaps this should be like 1) above and place it under the
current directory.
You might want to try changing this code to:
sprintf(tmp_file,"tmp/%lu.%d.%s",tm,pid,hostname);
if ((mailfile = creat(tmp_file,S_IREAD | S_IWRITE)) == -1)
failtemp ("Can't create tempfile (#4.3.0)\n");
make ; make install
Then see if you still get the error.
