[A question]

No-one has answered this question correctly yet.

The real answer:

1) The permissions on the Sendmail binary need to look like this:

-rwxr-sr-x  1 root smmsp 705836 Jun  3  2005 sendmail
(That's mode 2755)

2) The permissions on /var/spool/mqueue need to look like this:

drwx------  2 root mail 20480 Mar  8 12:49 /var/spool/mqueue
(Mode 0700)

3) The permissions on /var/spool/clientmqueue need to look like this:

drwxrwx---  2 smmsp smmsp 4096 Mar  8 12:02 /var/spool/clientmqueue/
(Mode 0770)

All of this information, by the way, is well-documented:
