Subject: Re: bin/32279: send-pr doesn't work when sendmail is configured to
queue and send via dial-up
Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2005 16:52:47 -0500
Thank you for your suggestion.
In order to support MUAs such as Thunderbird, I run the sendmail daemon
to queue mail. It appears to queue mail to /var/spool/mqueue by
default. It gives an access denied error when I set the queue to
/var/spool/clientmqueue.
When calling sendmail as a MDA, it queues messages
/var/spool/clientmqueue. I was not explicitly flushing this queue upon
dial-up.
So I now have two config files and am calling sendmail twice to flush
both queues at dial-up. I think this should work.

I encounter no problems when sending mail using a MUA but send-pr doesn't work. send-pr indicates that the message was sent successfully but the message does not show up in /var/spool/mqueue and is not sent.
