[Mimedefang] Authentication warnings and "cannot write" error s

I'm now confused.  I just looked at my sendmail binary, and it is SETGID to
smmsp.  So theoretically, any process calling sendmail should behave as
though it were already group smmsp when it tries to write to the
clientmqueue directory.

I've never had to do this but I might not have seen the issue.  DFS, any
input if this should be a necessary step for all installations?
