mailforwarding problems

2001-05-30 13:46:40
Hallo,

I'm using LinuxMandrake 7.2 with sendmail-8.11.0-3mdk and procmail-3.14-3mdk. 
Now I just want some mails being forwarded from one user to an other.
I created a .procmailrc file but the mails won't be forwarded. I get the 
following errors in the logs:

procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
procmail: Error while writing to "/usr/sbin/sendmail"

Then in the sendmail logs I have these errors:

May 28 13:25:55 localhost sendmail[1186]: f4SBPtu01186: SYSERR(am): Can't 
create transcript file ./xff4SBPtu01186: Permission denied
May 28 13:25:57 localhost sendmail[1186]: f4SBPtu01186: SYSERR(am): Cannot 
create ./dff4SBPtu01186: Permission denied
May 28 13:25:57 localhost sendmail[1186]: f4SBPtu01186: SYSERR(am): queueup: 
cannot create queue temp file ./tff4SBPtu01186, uid=501: Permission denied

I also have problems when trying to send mails using /usr/sbin/sendmail. It 
simply does not work. Of course sending mail to port 25 will work. I assume 
that procmail uses /usr/sbin/sendmail to forward mail an does not connect to 
port 25. Has anyone a solution for me? I suppose that some permissons are 
wrong, but have no idea what to change and I do not want to lower security. 
Can anyone help me PLZ?

TIA

Andreas
