That in itself can be a problem; recent versions of sendmail treat
unsafe permissions as an error, and will typically refuse to use such
files.

Is your prog mailer ("Mprog" line in sendmail.cf) configured to use a
restricted shell (e.g. smrsh)? If so, you will have to take this into
account (e.g. smrsh only permits execution of programs which are in
/usr/adm/sm.bin).
