First off, everyone involved with the development of FUDforum should be proud, its a great package.
I just setup FUDforum two days ago on a hobby site of mine and have had problems with sending e-mail. That is....no email is sent. I cant find anything in any logs (fudforum or otherwise) that gives me any clue where to start looking for the problem.
The server is a active sendmail and IMAP server btw.
System Configuration
PHP built On: Linux paper.linuxsense.net 2.4.19-r1 #2 SMP Wed Apr 10 13:20:30 UTC 2002 i686 AuthenticAMD
MySQL Version: 3.23.49-log
PHP Version: 4.2.1
Web Server: Apache/1.3.24 (Unix) PHP/4.2.1
WebServer to PHP interface: apache
Forum Version: 2.0RC3
Relavent PHP Settings: Safe Mode: OFF
Display Errors: OFF
File Uploads: ON
Magic Quotes: OFF
Register Globals: OFF
Output Buffering: ON
Disabled Functions: none
PSpell Support: No
Any advice on troubleshooting this?
Thanks!
***update***
Dont know how I missed these before...:

Looks like a perm problem. My question: Where?
Thanks.

FUDforum uses PHP builtin mail() function to send e-mail. That function itself uses sendmail internally to send email. So, the problem is likely to be with your config, rather then FUDforum.
The error message you've shown implies that sendmail cannot create a temporary file when the webserver spawns it, under it's own uid (nobody).
Check your sendmail.cf file in regard to where the temporary files are written and make sure user nobody can create files inside that directory, or you will not be able to send e-mail from the webserver using PHP.

I use qmail myself, which gives pretty detailed error reports inside /var/log/mail or /var/log/messages files.
So, I am afraid I cannot be of much help.

Nope, qmail has its own util for delivering local mail on the server.
