You must have your ifmail's directory something like this:
-rws--x--x 1 ifmail uucp 344064 May 24 19:50 ifcico
-rws--x--x 1 ifmail uucp 90112 May 24 19:50 ifindex
-rws--x--x 2 ifmail uucp 172032 May 24 19:49 ifmail
-rws--x--x 2 ifmail uucp 172032 May 24 19:49 ifnews
-rwx--x--x 1 ifmail uucp 98304 May 24 19:49 ifpack
-rws--x--x 1 ifmail uucp 90112 May 24 19:50 ifroute
-rws--x--x 1 ifmail uucp 73728 May 24 19:49 ifstat
-rwx--x--x 1 ifmail uucp 155648 May 24 19:49 iftoss
-rwx--x--x 1 ifmail uucp 81920 May 24 19:49 ifunpack
-rws--x--x 1 ifmail uucp 65536 May 24 19:50 nlpatch
