Sorry, I meant smmsp, not smrsh. However, smmsp need to own that
directory to be able to write to it, and your error indicates it can
not. Check your permissions.

# ls -l /var/spool
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Nov 6 23:54 ./
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Dec 27 13:05 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 28 16:36 anacron/
drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 4096 Jan 27 04:03 clientmqueue/
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Dec 20 22:37 cron/
drws--sr-x 3 root mail 4096 Jan 27 08:42 mail/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root mail 4096 Jan 27 08:43 mqueue/

This doesn't have to do with the fact that Apache can't send mail. It
can, otherwise you wouldn't be getting that error. Apache already handed
the message off to sendmail. It's sendmail that's having the problem at
the moment.
