See: man sendmail
In particular where it states...
NOTES
sendmail often gets blamed for many problems that are
actually the result of other problems, such as overly
permissive modes on directories. For this reason, sendmail
checks the modes on system directories and files to
determine if they can be trusted. Although these checks can
be turned off and your system security reduced by setting the
DontBlameSendmail option, the permission problems should
be fixed. For more information, see:
