Procmail not delivering mail to users /var/spool/mail files on NFS mounted /var/spool/mail after sendmail deposits it into /var/spool/mqueue

2003-10-10 17:51:39
I have a Linux server which has a NFS mounted home directory on which
mail
is delivered to a /var/spool/mail directory.

procmail is the LDA. (version 3.22) Sendmail (8.12.10)

No /etc/procmail/rc

Sendmail and Procmail are being run in a chroot environment.

When mail is received from the network, it is deposited into
/var/spool/mqueue and owned by root:<userid> but stays there until a
manual
sendmail -q is done to push the mail, into the userid mail spool.

Is there away I can get procmail, to accept the root:<userid>
permissions
and process the mail into the /var/spool/mail/<userid> mailboxes?

sendmail and procmail are setuid.

The user and root are both trusted users in the sendmail.cf, and the
userid
is the default userid in the sendmail.cf (sendmail is running in a
chrooted
environment).

If mail is send to a user in the chroot environment via sendmail the
mail is
delivered to the spool with no problems. So I expect the problem is
with permissions on the file system and/or procmail accessing the
files.
