Re: [hylafax-users] faxmail: Can't create output Permission denied

[Chuck Wolber <chuckw@altaserv.net>]

It sounds like you need to add the faxmail user to the sendmail
configuration file. Sendmail won't arbitrarily execute anything that you
tell it to, you have to give it permission to execute. You'll have to
update your sendmail.cf or sendmail.mc file (depending on how you run your
system).
