I had similar issues with sendmail 8.13.x and found the only thing that
seemed to solve it was to use the following permissions (I list all the
way back to the root even though they are the default because sendmail
will complain if those are wrong):
/:
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4.0K Mar 4 19:28 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4.0K Feb 13 21:18 var
/var:
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4.0K Feb 15 16:42 spool
/var/spool:
drwxr-x--- 22 defang root 540 Mar 6 04:33 MIMEDefang
/var/spool/MIMEDefang:
srwxr-x--- 1 defang defang 0 Mar 4 19:28 mimedefang.sock
I don't recall if having group root on the /var/spool/MIMEDefang
directory is really required (I set this up long ago), but what I have
works.
