Issue with sending mail to local mailboxes using web forms

Hi,

When using any web email from from my server to send an email to a mailbox from my server I get the following in the mail logs:
May 15 00:05:36 sage qmail-queue-handlers[29774]: cannot create temporary file - (13) Permission denied
May 15 00:05:36 sage qmail-queue-handlers[29774]: cannot read message from stdin

OR:
May 14 23:50:09 sage qmail-queue-handlers[27990]: cannot create temporary file - (13) Permission denied
May 14 23:50:09 sage qmail-queue-handlers[27990]: cannot read message from stdin
May 14 23:50:09 sage qmail-queue[27989]: files: write buf 0xbfe46820[164] to fd (5) error - (32) Broken pipe
May 14 23:50:09 sage qmail-queue[27989]: files: cannot write chuck from 4 to 5 - (32) Broken pipe
May 14 23:50:09 sage qmail-queue[27989]: files: cannot write file /var/drweb/spool/drweb.tmp.U1sjEK to 5
May 14 23:50:09 sage qmail-queue[27989]: mailsend: cannot write message from file to submitter /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.origin
May 14 23:50:09 sage qmail-queue[27989]: starter: submitter[27990] with error code 54
May 14 23:50:09 sage qmail-queue[27989]: mailsend: wait for submitter failed
May 14 23:50:09 sage qmail-queue[27989]: cannot reinject message to mail system

Note: When I send mail from my server to a mailbox on my server in any other way(IMAP client, SMTP client, sendmail mail@domain.com < /dev/null) it works fine.

The issue is NOT related to what is described here:

Please help

We have the same problem

We have the same problem.

Also Fedora Core 6, Also Plesk 8.1.1

May 25 16:46:01 plesk3 qmail-queue-handlers[14646]: cannot read message from stdin


In /var/log/messages we get:

May 25 16:46:51 plesk3 kernel: audit(1180108011.213:2546): avc: denied { write } for pid=14725 comm="qmail-queue" name="spool" dev=sda1 ino=44138821 scontext=user_u:system_r:system_mail_t:s0 tcontext=user_ubject_r:var_t:s0 tclass=dir

Problem solved - well, sort of

I had an engineer look at the server, and it seems that the problem was caused by "SELINUX" which was installed before, but doing a "yum update" on things like Apache and BIND, modified it in some way which prevented permission being given to CGI scripts which sent emails. We've done a "setenforce=Permissive", which effectively disables it. Not sure if this would also affect PHP scripts. Also, not sure what side-effects this might have on the reset of the server - so far, so good.

I had this same problem. I fixed it running shell command # /usr/sbin/setenforce permissive
