Package: sendmail
Severity: important
After upgrading earlier today, sendmail is getting errors
Sep 11 08:02:44 betty sendmail[26207]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(ptb): can not
write to queue directory /var/spool/mqueue-client/ (RunAsGid=0,
required=8): Permission denied
The queue is
drwxrws--- 2 smmsp smmsp 4096 Sep 11 07:49 /var/spool/mqueue-client/
(yeah, I'll make it 777 so that I can send this!)
and from /etc/group:
root:*:0:
...
mail:*:8:smmta,smmsp
...
smmta:x:108:mail
smmsp:x:109:mail
and it was me that added smmta,smmsp to the mail group in an attempt to
make things better, and I added mail to the smmta group too. I
restarted sendmail too so that it could see the change.
From sendmail.cf, I see:
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf:#O RunAsUser=sendmail
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf.old:#O RunAsUser=sendmail
/etc/mail/submit.cf:O RunAsUser=smmsp
/etc/mail/submit.cf.old:O RunAsUser=smmsp
so it looks like that may be influencing things. Passwd says
mail:*:8:8:mail:/var/mail:/bin/sh
smmta:!:106:108:Mail Transfer Agent,,,:/var/lib/sendmail:/bin/false
smmsp:!:107:109:Mail Submission Program,,,:/var/lib/sendmail:/bin/false
and I don't see ANY user called "sendmail". psaux says the daemons are
running as root.

From what version did you upgrade?
sendmail is getting errors
...
This implies that not all the sendmail processes got properly stopped.
1) make sure there are *no* running sendmail processes
2) run /usr/share/sendmail/update_sendmail
3) run /etc/init.d/sendmail start

that process (26207) was started before sendmail was upgraded
From sendmail.cf, I see:

/etc/mail/sendmail.cf.old:#O RunAsUser=sendmail
/etc/mail/submit.cf:O RunAsUser=smmsp

Nor will you, those lines in sendmail.cf are commented out - as they
should be.
