Sendmail won't deliver
 

Hi, I'm running Redhat 9 with sendmail, when I receive any messages from the outside, they get delivered to /var/spool/mqueue but they don't get sorted into the relevant mailboxes in /var/spool/mail.

I suspect the problem may be down to a procmail configuration problem but really don't know where to look to begin troubleshooting this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Sendmail is usually run without root privileges these days. Make sure that the userid sendmail is using has write access to /var/spool/mail... usually you'd do something like:

chgrp -R mail /var/spool/mail
chmod -R g+rw /var/spool/mail

Something to check, anyway.
