I have mutt installed on two other freebsd computers. I fetch pop mail
via getmail, and procmail puts things where they belong. I just
installed freebsd 7.0 on another computer with what I thought were the
exact same settings for all of the mail programs involved. When I try
to retrieve mail I get this error message:
Delivery error (command procmail 3695 error (127, exec of command
procmail failed (refuse to invoke external commands as root or GID 0 by
default)))
I use user's crontab to schedule getmail, and root does not own any of
the program configuration files (.procmailrc, etc), so I am at a loss to
explain why user is not able to retrieve mail.
Problem solved. I added "allow_root_commands = True" to the
[destination] entries in the getmailrc and that fixed it.
