Could that be WARNING: dangerous write permission ?? (Check your syslog - 
this error is written out to there)

I don't think you have a sendmail.cf problem here, though there are 
probably several people with more experience with sendmail.cf than me. (I 
just know how to bang on it till it translates the way I want it to...)
If you do a ps -auwx | grep mail is sendmail running?

The only place I can find that error in the source is under a check to 
determine (I think) the mode the program is running in. Perhaps sendmail 
is not running as root, or mail _is_. Check the suid flags.

if you want to mail it to don@elf.kendall.mdcc.edu I'll take a look at it 
and see if anything bites me. make sure you include the precise error 
messages.
