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. -- Jonathan Chen Once is dumb luck.
