Well, I did notice that /usr was group writable...When I changed the perms
and tried it, I actually remembered to check the queue and saw this entry:
[root(_at_)postal1 init.d]$ mailq
/var/spool/mqueue (54 requests)
----Q-ID---- --Size-- -----Q-Time-----
------------Sender/Recipient------------
eB5JOE609506 16 Tue Dec 5 19:24 <savarese(_at_)fortunecity(_dot_)com>
(Operating system error)
<savarese(_at_)fortunecity(_dot_)com>
Which is bad....It does look like some sort of permission thing...Here are
the perms for the directories...
[root(_at_)postal1 init.d]$ ls -ld /usr /usr/local /usr/local/bin
drwxr-xr-x 32 root sys 1024 Oct 17 14:23 /usr
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 512 Nov 18 23:22 /usr/local
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 5120 Nov 3 15:54 /usr/local/bin
Those look alright (I don't think sys will be a problem there)...God the
people that built this system messed it up big time...
Looking at the logs, I see the following...
Dec 5 19:24:15 postal1
sendmail[9508]: eB5JOE609506: to=<savarese(_at_)fortunecity(_dot_)com>,
ctladdr=<savarese(_at_)fortunecity(_dot_)com> (65972/1), delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=30031, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Operating system
error
from when it first recieved the mail...Once I went back to the old
sendmail.cf file, I see the following:
Dec 5 19:25:13 postal1
sendmail[9670]: eB5JOE609506: to=<savarese(_at_)fortunecity(_dot_)com>,
ctladdr=<savarese(_at_)fortunecity(_dot_)com> (65972/1), delay=00:00:58,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=120031, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
The big sendmail book doesn't go into what those dsn's mean...
Thanks,

What are permissions on /usr, /usr/local, /usr/local/bin ?
Sendmail might be fussing about /usr/local/bin/procmail .
Here's another question. What does the sendmail log say? (it might
be in /var/log/mail or /var/log/maillog or /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
or... see your syslog.conf file for where mail messages go...
