by I have an aix 4.2.1 machine running Apache. I am trying to get a cgi
script called FormMail to forward html forms to an mail server on
another machine (non unix) on our local network. There is no need for
any local mail delivery on the aix box. My sendmail.cf setup so far has
the DSmailer set to 'DSmail.local:(mail server name) and DRmailer set
to DRmail.local:(mail server name). I also commented out ruleset 0 to
route all local mail to the mail server on our LAN. My sendmail startup
uses 'sendmail -bd -pSMTP -q30s' in order to use SMTP as the transfer
protocol. When testing this I can sign on as root and issue a 'mail
routed without any errors. When I sign on as a user other than root,
however an error message '/tmp/Rs12866: The file access permissions do
not allow the specified action.' The message is routed however, but the
subject is sent as 'none'. The member /tmp/Rs12866 has a directory
entry, but it is empty. Being new to a lot of this I am at a loss as to
what to do next. If someone familiar with this type of configuration
could offer some advice I would appreciate it very much. I
particularily question the value of 'mail.local' for my mailer, but I
could not find any documentation which could offer any alternatives. I
am also not sure where to change permissions to allow users other than
root to use mail. Thanks.
