Trying to make a new start with this question, as it was originally about rpmbuild.
When a mail hits my server, postfix generates the following errors: Oct 19 16:04:10 server local[1324]: fatal: execvp /usr/local/tmda-1.1.8/bin/tmda-filter: Permission denied Oct 19 16:04:11 server postfix/local[1323]: 7B78A14E7A1: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=1, status=bounced (Command died with status 1: " /usr/local/tmda-1.1.8/bin/tmda-filter") The permissions in and around my tmda directory look like this (sorry if I've overdone this): /usr/local [EMAIL PROTECTED] local]# ls -al drwxr-xr-x 7 110 screen 4096 Oct 15 07:11 tmda-1.1.8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmda-1.1.8]# ls -al drwxr-xr-x 2 110 screen 4096 Oct 19 16:08 bin [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ls -al drwxr-xr-x 2 110 screen 4096 Oct 19 16:08 . drwxr-xr-x 7 110 screen 4096 Oct 15 07:11 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 110 screen 58476 Oct 14 06:58 ChangeLog -rw-r--r-- 1 110 screen 1618 Sep 16 20:41 paths.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 647 Oct 19 15:39 paths.pyc -rwxr-xr-x 1 110 screen 4601 Oct 13 02:22 tmda-address -rwxr-xr-x 1 110 screen 3545 Oct 13 03:35 tmda-check-address -rwxr-xr-x 1 110 screen 3016 Sep 16 20:41 tmda-filter -rwxr-xr-x 1 110 screen 18375 Oct 14 06:58 tmda-inject -rwxr-xr-x 1 110 screen 3747 Oct 10 05:19 tmda-keygen -rwxr-xr-x 1 110 screen 46468 Oct 13 05:38 tmda-ofmipd -rwxr-xr-x 1 110 screen 9010 Oct 14 23:30 tmda-pending -rwxr-xr-x 1 110 screen 34894 Oct 14 05:52 tmda-rfilter -rwxr-xr-x 1 110 screen 2517 Oct 14 06:29 tmda-sendmail So why the permission denied error? Just to verify that commands in .forward will work, I tried the following in .forward: "| cat > /home/fred/testcommand" And the incoming message was indeed piped the testcommand file as expected. I'm using Fedora Core 5 (which employs SELinux). Any ideas? _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list (tmda-users@tmda.net) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
