Is that the name of the jam area filenames (without the extensions)?

Mine have more readable names. For instance when I reply to this message
echomail.jam contains:

/home/fido/jam/fido/fmailhelp 998

Do you run Golded and the sendmail script as the same linux user? Is that user
also the owner of the echomail.jam file and the jam area files?

What does the log say?
