I would like to comment on this. I get this error logged every single time a user logs into sqwebmail. It is installed on OpenBSD 3.3 with qmail and vpopmail.
My disagreement is with Sam's comment that "make install" installs everything correctly. Not one single machine that I have installed this on (all OpenBSD), has ever created the /var/run/sqwebmail directory. I have always had to create it by hand. I also checked the u+s bit is properly set on sqwebmail and no permission combination ever makes this error go away. Numerous posts to various boards have revealed nothing. As it doesn't alter the usage of the software, I just gave up. All it seems to really do is fill up logs.
