Hey there, > Thanks for the info. On an unrelated note, any idea what that is then?
I think this is a pure sendmail issue, and I bet you are using a recent version of sendmail, or a vendor-specific configured one. Specifically I think these issues are present in the 8.12 version(s) of sendmail. The issue is the tasks that sendmail handles; listening on port 25 for mail, and flushing the mail queue periodically. To quote an article which might help; "Sendmail v8.12 is the first release of Sendmail to draw a distinction between the Message Submission Process (MSP) and the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). Simply put, the MSP is the procedure used by local processes when they want to emit email from the local machine. The MTA is the process that handles receiving email from other systems and either relaying it onwards or delivering it locally." So your error; sm-msp-queue[1544]: unable to write /var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid: Permission denied points definitively to Sendmail, and not Squirrelmail. I attempt to decode the first line this way, sm is sendmail, msp is Message Submission Process and the queue is the mail queue, [1544] is the pid that MSP is running under. Unable to write means that perhaps the MTA queue-flushing is turned of and/or sendmail is not listening on port 25, or (more likely due to the next line of your message,) that the MSP does not have the required permissions. Here is the URI for the article I mentioned; http://www.samag.com/documents/s=8228/sam0306a/0306a.htm Here is the URI for Sendmail; http://www.sendmail.org/ Hopefully this is of some use to you.
