queue problem with sendmail

[juissi]

I have a problem with sendmail. It have worked under osx 10.1.5, but it won't anymore. All directory permissions should be correct:

drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 1024 Jun 29 00:42 clientmqueue
drwxr-x--- 2 root wheel 1024 Jul 24 17:31 mqueue

When I try to send mail with 'mail -s "test" juissi@XXX.com'

it gives following error messages:

'collect: Cannot write ./dfg6OEnMoi001641 (bfcommit, uid=501, gid=25): Permission denied'
'queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfg6OEnMoi001641, uid=501: Permission denied'

Anybody have an idea what's wrong?

goto http://tech.newzworld.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=8 and download Repair Priveleges. This should fix your problem.

I have already used and tried that. It didn't help at all.

chmod g-w /
chmod g-w /etc
chmod g-w /etc/mail

should work

It won't. I have already tried every guide from this site. And sendmail still refuses to work...

Nope

hmmm... I think something else is broken than sendmail.
