Sendmail Problems

After upgrading to the latest version of sendmail, I encountered several problems.

Two errors encountered were -

  • unsafe map file /etc/mail/access.db
  • /etc/mail/submit.cf: line 525: fileclass: cannot open '/etc/mail/trusted-users': World writable directory

It turns out that Sendmail now does a lot more checking on file and directory permissions.

i had to modify the permissions on

  • /
  • /etc
  • /etc/mail
  • /etc/mail/access.db
  • /etc/mai/trusted-users

To fix this, use command chmod

Path Command
/ chmod 755 /
/etc chmod 755 /etc
/etc/mail chmod 755 /etc/mail
/etc/mail/access.db chmod 755 /etc/access.db
/etc/mai/trusted-users chmod 755 /etc/trusted-users
