Re: Sendmail Error- RunAsUser: unknown user smmsp

Thanks Tim,

I had tried that permissions on /var/spool/clientmqueue  are:
drwxrwx---    2 root    smmsp    264 May 22 18:56 clientmqueue

I still get 'unknown user smmsp' in the mail log when scripts attempt to
send mail. Full error from log below. Any other suggestions anyone?

Jul 25 12:05:50 www sendmail[17365]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(www):
/etc/mail/submit.cf: line 416: readcf: option RunAsUser: unknown user smmsp
Jul 25 12:05:50 www sendmail[17365]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(www):
/etc/mail/submit.cf: line 435: readcf: option TrustedUser: unknown user
smmsp

Thank you.   Stace
