[Nagiosplug-help] check_mailq

[Robert Cole]

Permissions was the problem but I notice that the permissions in 
the/var/spool/mqueue directory are 600 with ownership of root:smmsp  I 
made the nagios user a member of mail and smmsp but I keep having to go 
to the mqueue directory and changing the permissions to 640 to make it 
work. Is there any way of making the system create new mail queue 
directories with 640 permissions?

Thanks,
Robert
