Problems with sending outgoing mail on sendmail

<< < (2/2)

Ricky:
Ok.. tell me if it gets started on boot up or you start it manully after booting ?

To make sure it get started on boot , add entry in /etc/rc.d/rc.local for it.
Also try to login using root and then run it .. if it still shows same error then u r not having simply permission problem...

johntaylor:
It is set to automatically start on boot. It might be a problem with permissions in the mail queue.

Thanks

Ricky:

--- Code: ---... unalble to write /var/run/sm-client.pid: Permission Denied
--- End code ---
Tells me that it has no permission to write PID .. and it can only write their during boot or if you run it after login as su or root..
Offcourse the other error is about queue...

Hi Again,
I fixed one problem. I had everything working for a while and then when I rebooted the server I could not recieve incoming mail. I suspect the error is the following:
