Unable to send email

[dusk at badseed.bytch.net]

	I am running FreeBSD stable 4.7 and Sendmail 8.12.7. I am unable
to send email. This is the error output:

su-2.05$ collect: Cannot write ./dfh3MDwWTE001257 (bfcommit, uid=1001,
gid=25): 
Permission denied
queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfh3MDwWTE001257,
uid=1001: Permission 
denied

	As you can see it is giving me a "permissions" error. I am not
sure exactly how long this has been going on. I just noticed it
yesterday. I double checked file and directory permissions and broke out
the big bat book (O'Reilly's sendmail bible). I have not done much with
the Sendmail install. I have created the access, virtual host
files and edited the ailias file. When I built the sendmail.cf file I
added two entries for dnsbl. At this point I am stuck. I hope that the
answer is in front of me and  just don't see it. I am sending this out to
this list because it looks like my problem is not so much with sendmail as
it is my system's permissions. Anybody got any ideas? 


I have included some ls -l output
