I had a similar problem, but when I used /etc/news/inn.conf from my binary RedHat package of inn (just that file, I use leafnode otherwise; and it may be different on FreeBSD), changed couple of lines -- organization, server, and domain -- and it works. I have not been able to work with inn.conf created according to inn.conf(5) manpage (it told me always, that mta is not set, even when it was). If you wish, I can send you my inn.conf.

Have a nice day Matej Cepl You know, I had this same problem a while back, but couldn't find the message where I detailed the solution - and I knew it was a simple thing. Couldn't dig it out of my brain either. Finally I found the catch - the temp directory specified in inn.conf has to be world writeable. All temp directories should be, right? My solution was the same as on the other machine - change the temp path to /tmp Problem solved. Thanks for the suggestion.
