HI,
on some test machine running MIMEDefang 2.23 that I'm preparing to
upgrade to 2.26 I'm seing some strange sendmail errors related to
the defang account:
Nov 20 11:58:31 mailgate sendmail[15033]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(defang): can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Nov 20 12:10:42 mailgate sendmail[16804]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(defang): can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Nov 20 12:11:23 mailgate sendmail[16926]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(defang): can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Nov 20 12:12:32 mailgate sendmail[17079]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(defang): can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Nov 20 12:14:03 mailgate sendmail[17338]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(defang): can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
Am I the only one ?
# id defang
uid=415(defang) gid=416(defang) groups=416(defang)
# id smmsp
uid=96(smmsp) gid=415(smmsp) groups=415(smmsp)
rwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 48 Nov 20 12:21 /var/spool/clientmqueue/
-rwx--s--x 1 root mail 548728 Jul 15 11:36 /usr/sbin/sendmail*
MX_USER=defang in /etc/sysconfig/mimedefang
My mimedefang-filter is not very different from the default one (custom logging, discard of dangerous messages, ...)
However messages get sent/blocked normaly.
Regards,
SL/
