Hello all,

I researched this problem, but to no avail. I'm hoping someone here can help me.

I'm setting up sympa for the first time, but when I try to send a message via the "Post"
screen in the Sympa web interface to a test list I have set up, I see these errors in the
/var/log/messages file, and the message just ends up in the spool/msg/bad folder:


Nov 18 21:48:27 anzaas sympa[23595]: main::DoFile() Processing /address@concealed ; sender: <address@concealed> ; message-id: <address@concealed>
Nov 18 21:48:27 anzaas sympa[23595]: main::DoSendMessage() Processing web message for address@concealed
Nov 18 21:48:28 anzaas sympa[23595]: main::DoSendMessage() Message for address@concealed sent
Nov 18 21:48:33 anzaas sympa[23595]: Message::new() Cannot open message file /address@concealed : Permission denied
Nov 18 21:48:33 anzaas sympa[23595]: main::DoFile() Unable to create Message object /address@concealed
Nov 18 21:48:33 anzaas sympa[23595]: Moving bad file address@concealed to bad/

I believe my permissions are correct:

# ls -l queue bouncequeue
-rwsr-xr-x 1 sympa sympa 11094 Nov 2 22:58 bouncequeue
-rwsr-xr-x 1 sympa sympa 12156 Nov 2 22:58 queue

[root@anzaas bin]# ps -ef|grep s[y]mpa
sympa 23595 1 0 19:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /home/sympa/bin/sympa.pl
sympa 23602 1 0 19:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /home/sympa/bin/archived.pl
sympa 23609 1 0 19:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /home/sympa/bin/bounced.pl
sympa 23616 1 0 19:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /home/sympa/bin/task_manager.pl

Even when I temporarily make the spool dirs world accessible and world writable I see the same
error.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I'm running sympa 5.4.3 on Centos 4.6 with selinux disabled

Regards,

Simon Taylor
