When starting OpenEMM these error messages appear in /var/log/mail.warn
Sep 21 08:54:06 bounce sendmail[4529]: unable to write pid to /home/openemm/var/run/sendmail-mqueue-client.pid: Permission denied

If I change grant more rights to the directory or change the group sendmail complains.
The fix is to remove $BASE from three lines in mailer.sh
$BASE/var/run/sendmail-${cq}.pid
$BASE/var/run/sendmail-openemm-admin.pid
$BASE/var/run/sendmail-openemm-queue.pid
Since the sendmail process owns these files.
I am running OpenEMM 5.3.0
Ubuntu 7.04
Sendmail 8.13
Permission Denied, sendmail-mqueue-client.pid -Fix

I have had the same errors:
unable to write pid to /home/openemm/var/run/sendmail-openemm-queue.pid: Permission denied: 3 Time(s)
unable to write pid to /home/openemm/var/run/sendmail-openemm-admin.pid: Permission denied: 3 Time(s)
I tried your fix and deleted the $BASE from those three lines, but now I get this:
NOQUEUE: SYSERR(openemm): can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied
Any ideas why this might be cropping up now?
