Hi,
Stop / Start sendmail didn't help.
during the last days i also did already try "kill -SIGHUP sendmail-pid "

I was afraid of that...


Here are the outputs :


ls -ld /var /var/spool /var/spool/mail /var/spool/mail/hareter

Your results match my system (SuSE 7.0)

...
here is another funny thing, as adabas i can't  read emails for adabas
elm says : "Can't open folder '/var/spool/mail/adabas' for reading!  "
(long time ago we used Adabas as our DB, but i still use this
account a lot, and would need the emails) 

Very strange.


ls -ld /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/procmail  # if that's where your procmail is
drwxr-xr-x  28 root     root         4096 Dec 30  1999 /usr
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root        24576 Dec 30  1999 /usr/bin
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        65044 Nov  8  1999 /usr/bin/procmail    

These match my system except for dates, and the size of procmail.
Same with the other outputs...

Can you see something wrong ?

No, nothing at all!

The manpage says that "Insufficient privileges" comes from 

       Insufficient privileges
                              Procmail either needs  root  privi
