Sendmail permission problems

[Jamie LaPointe]

I am having problems with a Perl based application (Bugzilla 2.16.5) that
uses Sendmail.  I recently upgraded from Sendmail version 8.9.3 to 8.12.10
and am using FreeBSD 5.2.1-Release.  I installed this version of Sendmail
from the Ports collection from the FreeBSD FTP site.  Ever since I upgraded
to this new version I have been having the following problem when attempting
to send an email via Bugzilla (the following error is from the mailog):

It sure appears that something is screwed up with Permissions, yet
/var/spool/clientmqueue has the following permission:

-bash-2.05b# ls -l

total 32

drwxrwx---   2 smmsp  smmsp     512 Jun 25 12:09 clientmqueue

drwxr-xr-x   3 root   daemon    512 Apr  6 08:53 cups

drwxrwxr-x   2 uucp   dialer    512 Jun 25 17:11 lock

drwxr-xr-x   2 root   daemon    512 Feb 23 12:41 lpd

drwxr-xr-x   3 root   daemon  16384 Jun 25 15:17 mqueue

drwxr-xr-x   3 root   daemon    512 Feb 23 12:41 output

drwxrwxrwt   2 root   wheel     512 Apr  6 08:53 samba

 

>From everything that I have read this is correct.  I also checked the
permission for the sendmail binary and it has the following permission:

-bash-2.05b# ls -l /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail

-r-xr-sr-x  1 root  smmsp  635864 Feb 23 12:42 sendmail

 

I even attempted to comment out most of the items in the sendmail.mc
configuration file (with the obvious make and restart of the sendmail
daemon).  I would appreciate any help on this matter.

 

Thank you very much,
