Hi,
I have RHEL 5.7 server. I am able to send mail from this server to my Inbox with root login, but not with a non-root user. Using sendmail. Permission of sendmail.sendmail looks okay and emails are not holding up in the server, when I do mailq immediately after sending an email. Please suggest, what I am supposed to check or what I am missing.
[jsmith@rhel-serv1-prod ~]$ cat /etc/mail/sendmail.cf | grep DS

# Return-Receipt-To: header implies DSN request

[jsmith@rhel-serv1-prod ~]$ mailx -v john.smith@mycompany.com

If I check /var/log/maillog, it is not giving me any clue. In below output, first part is, when I send with non-root and second part with root
