I haven't seen any other response to this, so I'll bite. (Other than from
the SENDMAIL/IDA people).

As I remember from the orignal message was there a remark with a ...proj...
call complaining that a group was not there.

sendmail at our site runs with:

 112 -rwsr-sr-x   2 root     staff      113082 Oct  5  1989 /usr/lib/sendmail*

The queue has the following ACL's:

Acl for /usr/spool/mail:
Required entries 
 bin.%.%                          prwx-                 
 %.mail.%                         -rwx-                 
 %.%.none                         [ignored]             
 %.%.%                            -r-x-                 
 Extended entry rights mask:      -r-x-

And my mail-box has the folling ACL's after delivery:

Acl for /usr/spool/mail/wjw:
Required entries 
 wjw.%.%                          prw--                 
 %.mail.%                         -----                 
 %.%.none                         [ignored]             
 %.%.%                            -----                 
 Extended entry rights mask:      -----

From this I conclude that there must be atleast a group mail. The error messages
shown give reason to doubt this. (However I thought that they came default with
the system.)

Succes,

    to program in a "VERY!!" obscure language.
