File attachment upload fails (1.4.23 SVN)

Hello,

When I attach and add a file, I get an error message:

Could not move/copy file. File not attached

and each time I try, a new entry in /var/log/apache2/error.log is generated:

[Mon Jul 03 16:03:01.455914 2017] [:error] [pid 7204] [client
184.156.x.y:57053] PHP Warning:  file_exists(): open_basedir restriction
in effect.
File(/var/spool/squirrelmail/attach/nEXi661psD7IGoliHjmvpH82lZi52Wb8) is
not within the allowed path(s):
(/usr/share/squirrelmail:/etc/squirrelmail:/var/lib/squirrelmail:/etc/hostname:/etc/mailname)
in /usr/share/squirrelmail/src/compose.php on line 1470, referer:
https://www.sellfam.com/squirrelmail/src/compose.php?passed_id=9340&mailbox=INBOX&startMessage=1&passed_ent_id=0&smaction=reply

Before checking the logs, I relaxed the permissions on
/var/spool/squirrelmail/attach/ down to 777 for diagnostics.  I now
suspect that this is a bad interaction with PHP instead.  Lacking seeing
any recent postings on this topic, I suspect it's fair to raise it again
as a lot has probably evolved over the years.

I looked in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and found that open_basedir is not
set and holds no value.  So, I'm not certain what the restriction is that
Squirrelmail is finding.

Any ideas?

Raspbian Jessie (ARM)
PHP 5.6.30-0+deb8u1
Apache/2.4.10 (Raspbian)
SquirrelMail version 1.4.23 [SVN]

Thanks,

Timothy D Legg.
