Reading spam dir with PHP?

[Randy Herban]

You can change the permissions on the queue directory to 755 or some
other variant.  Sendmail might complain some about it but oh well.
I would recommend against using 777 on mqueue just for sanity's sake.
You might also need to change an option in the sendmail config to have
temp files saved with a different mod, i'm not sure offhand though.
I've always been able to chmod 755 /var/spool/mqueue and it works fine.

Do all the reading as normal user and when you need to move the queue
files, use sudo as you suggested.

sudoers:
apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:/bin/mv
