From the terminal, after performing the aforementioned operations, I am only able to send mail (EG: mail julrikson@mac.com) if I have SU'ed first. Otherwise I get the following error: can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser. Presumably, I could change the permissions on /var/spool/mqueue/ to all Group R/W/E and defeat security to allow me to send mail as any of my created users. I'd rather not do this. Also, I am unable to send mail out with PHP scripts that worked in 10.1.4. So, apparently, there's some why to add "TrustedUser(s)." I haven't found ducumentation on this anywhere. Anyone else run into this same problem? If so, how did you approach it.
