- This is in contrast to a user who is of group "staff" who is able to
- successfully send email. This problem seemed to appear after making a slight
- modification to the sendmail.cf config file. I wanted jobs to be queued so in
- the uucp mailer I added the -r option to the uux command. I don't see any
- direct correlation. Perhaps a file permission problem. Any thoughts and
- suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
