I use PHP to send mail. Recently, emails originating
from the server stopped sending. After some
investigation, I looked at the /var/log/maillog file,
and saw the following errors when a mailing tried to
originate:

Aug 29 13:16:10 x sendmail[1162]: g7TIGA001162:
SYSERR(apache): Can't create transcript file
./xfg7TIGA001162: Permission denied
Aug 29 13:16:10 x sendmail[1162]: g7TIGA001162:
SYSERR(apache): Cannot create ./dfg7TIGA001162:
Permission denied

I looked in my mail queue directory, and there were
like 15,000 files...looked at a sample few of them,
and they were jibberish.

Question 1: I'm assuming the error has something to do
with the chown/chgrp/chmod of the /var/spool/mqueue
directory? I don't know how this could have changed,
nothing was modified on the server. Currently: owner =
root, group = mail, permissions = rwx rx rx

Question 2: Did I get hacked??
