Hello, list, I have a problem with Sendmail configuration. I'm building (on CentOS 5) a "dual-MTA" setup with amavisd-new (as specified in amavisd-new documentation, file README.sendmail-dual). So far so good. But when I tried to add server SMTP-AUTH and TLS, I get a strange, permission-related error, and STARTTLS will not start. In my .mc conf, the Sendmail user is now the usual - mail:mail define(`confDEF_USER_ID', ``8:12'')dnl ...though when I have cleared this problem, I'm going to add a definition for a non-privileged Sendmail user like this (for the receiving Sendmail daemon): define(`confRUN_AS_USER', `smmsp:smmsp')dnl Ok, when I try to start Sendmail, I get this in the maillog: Aug 11 15:25:24 mail sm-mta-tx[12782]: starting daemon (8.13.8): SMTP+queueing at 00:01:00 Aug 11 15:25:24 mail sm-mta-rx[12785]: starting daemon (8.13.8): SMTP+persistent-queueing at 00:00:01 Aug 11 15:25:24 mail sm-mta-rx[12785]: STARTTLS=server: file /etc/mail/certs/sendmail.pem unsafe: Permission denied This is strange, because the permissions should be ok - right?

This might be a Sendmail bug - it resembles this Debian bug, which also gives a "unsafe - no permission" error as a symptom. http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-closed@lists.debian.org/msg01560.htm l .
