Hi,

Hmm, OK - that looks like I'd expect it to. Normally errors like that appear if the SETGID bit isn't properly set on the binary (the 's' in the r-s group permissions), but it appears to be.

Does your Sendmail log shed any light on this ? On RHEL this would normally be /var/log/maillog. You could also take a look at the other logs in /var/log while you're at it, in case something there sheds light on why this isn't working.

Also - is SELinux enabled on this system ? If it is, do you need it to be ?

Hi,

Also, another follow-up: I've just really realised you're running this as a regular user, sorry. If you try using the mail command instead, does it work ? So something like this:

/bin/mail -s "test" address@domain.com

You might also try postfix.

AFAIK sendmail doesn't offer the -a option. Don't you get an errror message? What does tne man page tell you about the options available?

Have you tried using Perl to send the email?
