Thanks for the quick reply!  I've been fighting with this for about a 
day now...:)

The problem is, I've got this working on another mail server where it's 
being run as qmaild. This is almost the exact same setup, except that 
server is an earlier version of rh ( 7.2 I believe ).

I've looked at the permissions on that server, set mine the same, no 
luck, so I'm thinking there is some new "thing" to rh9 that I don't know 
about.

Thanks again
