problem with e-mail
hi all,
my name is shawn... i'm new to the list... thought i'd get things started off right by asking a question. ;)
this is a problem that seemed to start when i moved from mandrake 7.0 to mandrake 7.2. i can not send mail from my system! at first i thought maybe it was just pine, but it's not... i've tried using the standard 'mail' program as well... that gives me the same message.
the message i'm getting is:
Can't create transcript file ./xff6P0nfu12592: Permission denied
it would seem as though it's having a problem creating the temporary files needed to queue the mail and get it sent... but all the permissions appear to be in order:
[shawn@evilpenguin shawn]$ ls -ld /var/spool/mqueue
drwxr-xr-x 2 root mail 4096 Jul 24 20:45 /var/spool/mqueue/
any ideas, guys? any help would be appreciated... this is frustrating the hell out of me. (by the way i have sendmail configured and i can receive mail on my box without a problem.)
