[Scottish] sendmail probs on Mandrake {Scanned}

[Allan Bruce]

This took a very long time to come thorugh the system - its all fixed now.  The new version of sendmail requires permissions of queue directories to be set for user and group smmsp to work.

Dont know about the other problem, it has gone away too.

Now Mailscanner is running just great with 2 instances of sendmail.

  I have installed sendmail from source on my Mandrake9.1 box.  I had a few probs getting it to build, but fixed them fine.  Sendmail runs, but i get two errors now:

  1) when trying to send a mail, I get the following message:
  "can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser."

  2) when receiving mail, I get:
  "erg.abdn.ac.uk... Unrecognized host name erg.abdn.ac.uk."
  I test this by telneting to sendmail, and typing
  "mail from allan at erg.abdn.ac.uk"

  does anybody know how to fix either of these?
  Cheers
  Allan
