Running sendmail as setuid root is a big security hole. If you're
running -stable, the correct permissions are:
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root smmsp 581956 May 21 18:43 /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail*
and your spool directories should be:
drwxrwx--- 2 smmsp smmsp 512 May 23 18:00 /var/spool/clientmqueue/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 May 23 18:00 /var/spool/mqueue/
Anything else will cause your sendmail to complain.
