The client writes to the server queue?

That's a really weird setup... only the server is supposed to
write to that queue.

Which cf file is the client using and what are the values for
QueueDirectory and RunAsUser?
What are the permissions of the QueueDirectory (/var/spool/mqueue)?

$ ls -ldg /var/spool/*queue 
drwxrwx---   2 smmsp    smmsp        6144 Oct 15 18:04 /var/spool/clientmqueue/
drwxr-x---   2 smmta    bin          5632 Oct 15 18:07 /var/spool/mqueue/

Is this your svc:/network/sendmail-client:default
smmsp      541  0.0  0.2 6744  936 ?        S   Jul 30  0:19 /usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m -L sm-msp-queue

If so, it shouldn't be able to write to mqueue.



PS: the simplest way to test what the server does is to use
sendmail -Am ...
(requires root).
