can you try to replace the touch_stamp() method in
/usr/share/sendmail/sendmail with this:


touch_stamp() {
        if [ "$(id -nu)" = "smmsp" ]; then
                touch "$1"
        else
                su smmsp -s /bin/sh -c "touch '$1'"
        fi
}


That should work at least for the smmsp cronjob ...
