We've got 2 debian servers at work now! One of them needs to serve email, and since the admin comes from RH we installed sendmail and linuxconf. However, sendmail isn't working correctly.
Sendmail properly listens on port 25 and will deliver mail, but it
can only receive local mail from root.
As a regular user :
$ echo "hi" | /usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
collect: Cannot write ./dfg3PGCNaY004221 (bfcommit, uid=1048, gid=101):
Permission denied
The spool is /var/spool/mqueue :
$ ls -ld /var/spool/mqueue
drwxrwxr-x 2 root smmsp 1024 Apr 25 11:13 /var/spool/mqueue
/usr/sbin/sendmail is setgid smmsp.
When a regular user tries to send a message, the file given in the
error message is created as <user>:smmsp with permissions 0600.
The result of all this is that mutt can't send mail, but pine can
(because it does the SMTP itself).
I know nothing about actually setting up sendmail, so any help is
greatly appreciated.
TIA,
-D
