mailq & trusted user



With new sendmail 8.11.3+8.12.0.Beta7-3 executing 'mailq' answer me:

   can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied
   Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.

from this message it seems that adding the user to
/etc/mail/trusted-users can solve the problem, but this is _not_ the
case !

In fact doing strace of mailq it's' clear that 'mailq' attempt to enter
/var/spool/mqueue/ dir that is readable/executable only by root and mail
group members'.

So, why this mention to TrustedUser ???
