Two problems were at work here. One: (note to self) RTFM. But
sometimes you just don't feel like you have time....
As noted in the sendmail SECURITY README:
sendmail must be a set-group-ID (default group: smmsp, recommended
gid: 25) program to allow for queueing mail in a group-writable
directory. Two .cf files are required: sendmail.cf for the daemon
and submit.cf for the submission program. The following permissions
should be used:
-r-xr-sr-x root smmsp ... /PATH/TO/sendmail
drwxrwx--- smmsp smmsp ... /var/spool/clientmqueue
drwx------ root wheel ... /var/spool/mqueue
-r--r--r-- root wheel ... /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
-r--r--r-- root wheel ... /etc/mail/submit.cf
Fine. But I had another problem as well. I botched the creation of
the user and group smmsp, and the group ID for user smmsp in
/etc/passwd did not match the group id for smmsp in /etc/group.
Luckily, some other poor sap had the same problem and a paste of the
log message to google groups pointed me to the light.
Thanks for the help.... Jay is my hero.
