Description of problem:
With the default installation of Fedora fc3 [with all updates], the 
webserver daemon httpd cannot send emails using perl scripts. 
Shouldn't httpd be allowed by default to send emails using perl 
scripts? The following errors are reported in the log files:

/var/log/httpd/error_log
[Wed Jan 19 10:23:28 2005] [error] [client 192.168.1.3] Program mode 
requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
How reproducible:
Everytime


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Steps to Reproduce:
The webserver is set to execute perl scripts for the virtual host as 
reported in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory /var/www/example.com/html>
	Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes +Includes +ExecCGI
	# Other configuration parameters

</Directory>

Sample perl script to send email similar to that of bugzilla
[root@bugzilla bugzilla] cat /var/www/example.com/html/test.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$message = "From: bugzilla-admin-daemon\nTo: 
user\@example.com\nSubject:  Bugzilla Change Password Request\n\nYou 
(or someone impersonating you) has requested to change your 
Bugzilla\npassword.  To change your password, visit the following 
link:\nEnd of email.\n\n";

print "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\n\n";
print "------------------------------------------\n";

open SENDMAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t -i";
print SENDMAIL $message;
close SENDMAIL;

print "------------------------------------------\n";
print "Mail Sent\n";


[root@bugzilla bugzilla]# ls -Z test.cgi
-rwxr-x---  root     apache   
system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_test.cgi


webserver output as reported by the browser
------------------------------------------
can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/): Permission denied
------------------------------------------
Mail Sent


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~  
Actual results:
The webserver executes the perl scripts and silently ignores sending 
the email.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Expected results:
WebServer daemon httpd running with regular user "apache" should be 
able to send emails using perl scripts?
