I'm on a Solaris 9 box where sendmail is not running.
I'm trying to send mail out as user oracle but get this error
and the message never arrives do I need to be running sendmail daemons
to send mail out as non root user for this to work?
#/oracle % which mail
/bin/mail
#:/oracle % /bin/mail martini1@llnl.gov
testing
.
can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.
#:/oracle %
My permissions look like this
#:/oracle % ls -la /var/spool

I also tried using /usr/ucb/mail and get the same error above.
Thank You.
