Is there are reason 6.4's sendmail/procmail creates the user mail files mode 600? I have a number of programs that expects it to be 640 group-id mail. I am pretty sure earlier 6.x's did it the old way.
Randy, I have 6.3. All the files in /var/spool/mail are mode 0600. I prefer not to have 0640 and I have no problems with the setup.
Man web-based mailers, generaly perl or php3, need to be either suid root or, as it used to be, sgid mail. Neomail works fine with redhat/mandrake, as the mail files are 640. It used to work with suse, but not with the current version.
