Actually, I looked closer, the headers are written to a similarly
named file, and that is sent if 'sendmail -qf' is run. The message
body is never queued.
If I make the spool world-writeable then sending works properly.
(this is not a solution, just a data point :-))
Is sendmail supposed to be suid or something?
TIA!
