That won't fix it. On OS X systems, / is group writable for various
reasons. The easiest workaround is to add this to the .mc file you use
to generate sendmail.cf:
define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL', `GroupWritableDirPathSafe')
There are a *ton* of web sites that cover getting sendmail on OS X to
work properly. Search google. Also, there's a decent article on
O'Reilly's Mac Dev Center about it.
