 It is a long time since I installed IFMAIl, when I try it now, get no output
 or a segfault when I set a debug level. Apparently I do not use ifinfo.

 Yes I get something similar.

 Apparetly ifcico is not authorised to create the needed directories.
 There should be a /var/spool/ directory and in /var/spool/ a directory ftn
 owned by user  ftn

 Take it step by step.
