Severe Server Problems (FC4)

[karlp at ourldsfamily.com]

My RH8.0 email/web server crashed. I've been struggling over the weekend to
get things back up and still some things are hammered.
You can see them by doing mailq -qL and re-process them by doing
for i in "ls Q*"; do sendmail -v -qI$i -d11; done
from in /var/spool/mqueue, which has drwx --- --- permissions, which is correct.
I'm suspect of sm-client, too, because it starts, then dies. I had to change
the location of /var/run/sm-client.pid because it failed to start at all
because of permissions.

Forms on my server don't submit the emails to me they once did for usage
tracking, etc. In maillog:
   1. Aug 14 00:25:58 moroni sendmail[25780]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): can not
chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied:

It appears these errors result in the next error, which is generated by the
following CGI command:
cat $FNM|tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' |mail -s "Access to $ACCESS" karlp

   2. mail: invalid option -- r
Usage: mail [-iInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] to-addr ...
            [-- sendmail-options ...]
       mail [-iInNv] -f [name]
       mail [-iInNv] [-u user]
554 5.3.0 unknown mailer error 1

I apologize for being a bit scattered. I've been relatively brain hampered for
3 days now... 13 hours of sleep in the past 50+ hours.
