I forgot to mention in my original posting that I checked all the protections I
could think of.  /usr/lib/sendmail is 4755 /usr/spool/mail is 1777. And
sendmail.cf , .fc, .hf, .st, and aliases are all world readable.  It really is
sort of fustrating because it does sound like a protection/suid problem.  But
if it is, I don't know where (I also check the /tmp directory).
