Hello All, I've searched the FAQ and mailing list archive but couldn't find a solution. I'm hoping someone can help me. My box has linux 7.0, qmail 1.0.3 I can successfully run qmail where it delivers the mail to the Maildir or Mailbox in the user's home dir. Now I'm trying to make it deliver the mail to /var/spool/mail/<username> My /var/qmail/rc file looks like this exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '| preline -f /usr/bin/mail.local -f "${SENDER:-MAILER-DAEMON}" -d "$USER"' This is from sample rc file /var/qmail/boot/binm1. I changed the path to suit the location of mail.local on my box. I get the following error in the qmail log. @400000003b2866de266761fc delivery 12: deferral: mail.local:_/var/spool/mail/benl:_Permission_denied/ Here's the permissions on /var/spool/mail drwxrwxr-x 2 root qmail 4096 Jun 14 17:04 mail Because of the error message it lead me to believe the permissions on the directory were not write. So I tried a combination of changing owner.group.permissions to o+rw, but I still get that error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ben Qmail Wannabe
