SUMMARY: Can't send email as a normal user

Administrators,
 
I got many replies suggesting the problem was with the permissions on
/var/spool/mqueue.  This was not correct.  The permissions of 750 are
correct.  The problem was /usr/lib/sendmail did not have the setuid bit on.

 
chmod 455 /usr/lib/sendmail"
 
Thanks to all who replied.

Subject: Can't send email as a normal user



Administrators,
 
I'm getting the following message whenever I try sending email as a normal
user.
 
cannot chdir(/var/spool/mqueue): Permission denied
 
Doesn't matter what mail program I use.  I can receive email but not send
email.  Root can send mail.  The permissions of the mqueue directory are 750
with owner root and group bin.
 
Thanks,
 
Jack
