Don't do that, it opens up possible security problems.  You didn't tell us
what the error was so it's pretty hard to tell you you what to do to fix
it.  You can start by making sure these permissions match and the files
exist.

-r-xr-sr-x	root   smmsp	... /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
drwxrwx---	smmsp  smmsp	... /var/spool/clientmqueue
drwx------	root   wheel	... /var/spool/mqueue
-r--r--r--	root   wheel	... /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
-r--r--r--	root   wheel	... /etc/mail/submit.cf
