I've got an IMP installation that's mostly working, can read fine but
can't send.  I'm pretty sure I see the problem in my log but don't know
how to solve it:

Nov 15 12:01:14 paranoid sendmail[1099]: fAFK1ELE001099:
Authentication-Warning: paranoid.private.network: www set sender to
MYREALEMAILADDRESS using -f
Nov 15 12:01:14 paranoid sendmail[1099]: fAFK1ELE001099: SYSERR(www):
collect: Cannot write ./dffAFK1ELE001099 (bfcommit, uid=1001, gid=39):
Permission denied
Nov 15 12:01:14 paranoid sendmail[1099]: fAFK1ELE001099:
from=MYREALEMAILADDRESS, size=6, class=0, nrcpts=1, relay=localhost
Nov 15 12:01:14 paranoid sendmail[1099]: fAFK1ELE001099: SYSERR(www):
queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tffAFK1ELE001099, uid=1001:
Permission denied
Nov 15 12:01:14 paranoid sendmail[1101]: fAFK1EEn001101: SYSERR(www):
collect: Cannot write ./dffAFK1EEn001101 (bfcommit, uid=1001, gid=39):
Permission denied
Nov 15 12:01:14 paranoid sendmail[1101]: fAFK1EEn001101: from=www,
size=8, class=0, nrcpts=1, relay=localhost
Nov 15 12:01:14 paranoid sendmail[1101]: fAFK1EEn001101: SYSERR(www):
queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tffAFK1EEn001101, uid=1001:
Permission denied

(Names changed to protect the innocent)

Anyway, www is the user the HTTPD runs as, it seems pretty clear to me
it's creating a temporary file where it's not allowed, but I don't know
where that really is or where to change it.
