Hi, I did a little testing on my test system and found out that you have the wrong permissions on your /var/spool/mqeue directory. What permissions are used within your /var/spool for mqueue and clientmqueue? They should be (regarding SECURITY file): -r-xr-sr-x root mail ... /PATH/TO/sendmail drwxrwx--- mail mail ... /var/spool/clientmqueue drwx------ root wheel ... /var/spool/mqueue -r--r--r-- root wheel ... /etc/mail/sendmail.cf -r--r--r-- root wheel ... /etc/mail/submit.cf I think you have something like this: drwx------ bjfowler mail ... /var/spool/mqueue but is to be by default: drwxrwx--- 2 mail mail 12288 Jul 25 07:24 clientmqueue drwx------ 3 root root 12288 Jul 25 07:23 mqueue Change it to the wright permission and you should be able to post your local mail.
