Mandrake9.1 box. I had a few probs getting it to build, but fixed them
fine. Sendmail runs, but i get two errors now:</FONT></DIV>

message:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/):
Permission denied Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or
TrustedUser."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"erg.abdn.ac.uk... Unrecognized host name
