You should really read the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING at the
4.7 installation. Especially the entry that starts with:
: 20020404:
: Due to the import of sendmail 8.12.2 (see 20020325 entry), a new
: user and group are required in order for sendmail to run as a

This is a problem with the permissions of the mail queues. Do what
UPDATING says and you still fix things. It works fine after you set
everything up:
$ id
uid=1001(giorgos) gid=1001(giorgos) groups=1001(giorgos), 21(ftp)
$ mailq -Ac
/var/spool/clientmqueue is empty
Total requests: 0
$ mailq
/var/spool/mqueue is empty
Total requests: 0
