[imp] user "nobody"

[Beau Sapach]

Well I'm not sure I know where to go from here.  I can get sendmail to send
messages fine using the -f option even when using the entire path to the
sendmail binary the way IMP would, and even when logged in as nobody.....

>From exactly which file does IMP execute it's sendmail commands?  If I were
to add an option to the sendmail command line which .php3 file would I have
to edit?  Please let me know if I'm on the wrong track with this, but that's
the next place I can think to look to solve this problem....

Oh yeah I am definitely not running apache chrooted....
