[imp] user "nobody"

[intellinet IMAP]

OK I might be asking stupid questions since I'm not exactly an expert here
but whatever.  When I call sendmail from the prompt what command is used to
actually send the message?  After entering
   sendmail -fbeau@intellinetinc.com -- recipient@ddress I can enter text to
be sent as the email message right?  Well how do I exit sendmail from there
and send whatever text I've entered?

Sendmail (ssmtp) seems to be working alright from the command line even when
explicitly adding the path.  When I change the user that Apache runs as the
messages will send with the recipient being whatever user apache is running
as......does that help?  I don't know, I'm kinda lost.  My last install of
IMP had everything on the same server so it worked like a charm.....

Also you mentioned running apache chrooted, what does that mean exactly?
And how do I do it?
