I just recently installed FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, and I'd like to know how
to get sendmail to write mailspool files with permissions of 06400 for
/var/mail/$USERNAME and the $USERNAME file be owned by the group "mail".
Oh, and also, for some reason, it doesn't always work. Is this a noted
problem?

Anyway. Thanks,



Christopher
