[Urgent!] Sending Email Problem in Solaris 9
I am using sendmail in Solaris 9 to send mail. The following is the command in my shell script:
cat <<EOF > tmp-mail.txt
MIME-Version: 1.0
From: $MAIL_FROM
To: $MAIL_TO
Subject: $SUBJECT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
TEST Content
EOF
/usr/lib/sendmail -t -n < tmp-mail.txt
I have looked at the /var/adm/messages log, and found the following:
Apr 7 18:13:20 ziong sendmail[24754]: [ID 801593 mail.crit] NOQUEUE: SYSERR(abc): can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/):
Apr 7 18:13:52 ziong sendmail[24818]: [ID 801593 mail.crit] NOQUEUE: SYSERR(abc): can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/):
I am running the script as root, and the following is the permission of /var/spool/mqueue:
/var/spool:
dr-xr-x--- root bin mqueue
The sendmail daemon is started as root (checked by ps -ef | grep sendmail).
The problem is I cannot receive any email that is generated by my script. Can someone please help?
This question is very urgent, and need the solution ASAP. Thanks you very much.

Subject: Q4.16 -- How do I find sendmail's version number?
1) Is /var/spool/mqueue/ located on NFS mounted partition
*IF YOU USE sendmail-8.12+*
2) Do you have /etc/mail/submit.cf?
[ sendmail-8.12+ uses *TWO* cf file. submit.cf can be generated from submit.mc ]
Permissions for non set root id (default) installation of sendmail-8.12+ are described at
