The issue with procmail was that it was not even installed... Suprised me at first but this is a rather new install and hadn't gotten that done yet. Anyway, once emerged /usr/bin/procmail has the same permissions as you posted. > If you need to send out on port 587, you need to enable starttls by > generating a cert, or getting one from somewhere, defining the > mechanisms and other things.

For anyone stumbling on this thread looking for sendmail info I post the following, and to conclude our thread. I see the sendmail sources do have CACerts file in top level of the unpacked sources. Maybe that is what folks use. Also there is some explanation in one of the READMEs as well but still was not at all clear what really needed doing.... but actually: I dodged the issue altogether and swiched my smart host from smtp.gmail.com (which demands STARTTLS) to smtp.newsguy.com. So when sending to a gmail address now newsguy takes care of whatever it is with Certs. Should have tried that sooner... but there was enough other stuff wrong that probably wouldn't have worked yet anyway. All working for now. Sending works, even to gmail addresses. And others work. Logs show no problems. Thanks for the help.
