 Hi,

 I am sending / posting this message to

   FreeBSD questions mailing list
   comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup
   sendmail mailing list
   possibly other comp.unix.bsd.* newsgroups

 I am quite stumped.  Any and all help is welcomed.  I will be working on this
 problem all day.  Please feel free to contact me directly at '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
 if you'd like to help me figure this puzzle out.

Did you create the smmsp user / group as part of the upgrade?  Required from
8.12.0 -

8.12.0/8.12.0   2001/09/08
*NOTICE*: The default installation of sendmail does not use
set-user-ID root anymore.  You need to create a new user and
a new group before installing sendmail (both called smmsp by
default).  The installation process tries to install
/etc/mail/submit.cf and creates /var/spool/clientmqueue by
default.  Please see sendmail/SECURITY for details.

 Hi Danny,

 Thanks for the reply.  I believe I did.  To your knowledge, should the
 following work:

 city.example.com# grep smmsp /etc/passwd
 smmsp:*:25:25:Sendmail Queue:/nonexistent:/nonexistent

 city.example.com# grep smmsp /etc/group
 smmsp:*:25:

 Or will the /nonexistent home directory and /nonexistent bogus shell entry
 cause problems?

I'm afraid my knowledge doesn't extend that far, sorry
