Hi, Thanks u Mr. VaibhaV Sharma for providing information on configuring Sendmail. Well, I now seem to have a different problem with the File creation Permission, by default Linux assigns the permission in such a way that only Owner/Creator of that file has "rwx" permission, while Group members and Others have only "r" permission. I have two requirement a. both the Owner/Creator and Group members should have full permission on that file. This condition is to be met both while creating the file or while it has been modified ( tried with umask, but it suffices only for creation of the file, but when modified it returns back to default ). b. When a file is being moved from one folder to another, it should attain the permissions set in the destination folder. Expecting solution. Thanx and regards.
