I just installed 4.6.2 on a system and now mail sent using the mail command 
doesn't work.

I get an error that the temp queue file cannot be created, permission denied.

I have tracked down what I think is the problem:
$ ls -al /usr/libexec/sendmail/
total 587
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel     512 Sep  9 13:53 .
drwxr-xr-x  8 root  wheel    1536 Sep  9 13:54 ..
-r-xr-sr-x  1 root  25     581728 Aug 14 14:21 sendmail

Should sendmail be group setuid?  Should it be group 25?  What is group 25?
