As of sometime over the weekend, mail.local is no longer installed setuid. This is a problem, because it can no longer flock() mailboxes to deliver mail locally. Right now, I've chmod'ed mail.local, and mail is flowing again. src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES indicates that, indeed, mail.local should not be setuid, but doesn't indicate what should be done to fix the problem "fire mail.local: lockmailbox /var/mail/caesar failed; error code 75". Neither is it mentioned in src/UPDATING. Obviously, the solution is not to turn on the setuid bit for mail.local, but something else that I'm completely missing. Any ideas?
