Subject:   Stupid question about sendmail - why daemon runs as 0:0 ?

Hello people,

I've just upgraded 4.5-R to 4.6-STABLE. Ok, but sendmail didn't work. 
After some investigation I discovered, that sendmail daemon runs with 
uid=0 and gid=0 - despite the fact that /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail 
*has* it's file gid=25 and setgid bit set on!

Why setgid bit is on, but daemon still runs with gid=0 ? (and can't write 
to /var/spool/mqueue by default 'cause it's only group writable and has 
gid=25).

Thanks in advanse,
Andrew
