This is from the sendmail package, and is what gets applied at every
restart:
check_dirs () {
if [ ! -d "${SENDMAIL_ROOT}" ]; then
mkdir -p "${SENDMAIL_ROOT}";
chown root:smmta "${SENDMAIL_ROOT}";
chmod 02755 "${SENDMAIL_ROOT}";
fi;
if [ ! -d "${MTA_ROOT}" ]; then
mkdir -p "${MTA_ROOT}";
chown $DAEMON_UID:smmta "${MTA_ROOT}";
chmod 02755 "${MTA_ROOT}";
fi;
if [ ! -d "${MSP_ROOT}" ]; then
mkdir -p "${MSP_ROOT}";
chown smmsp:smmsp "${MSP_ROOT}";
chmod 02775 "${MSP_ROOT}";
fi;
if [ ! -d "${STAMP_DIR}" ]; then
mkdir -p "${STAMP_DIR}";
chown root:smmsp "${STAMP_DIR}";
chmod 02775 "${STAMP_DIR}";
fi;
}
I'm not sure why you're expecting the permissions to be different than
the default, but it's expected that they get reverted if you manually
change them.
