I am using the latest version (8.12.6) of sendmail, but owning to
directory persmission problem, i didn't set it up to start as smmsh.
thank you for your reminder.
If you're still running sendmail as root then you have an older version of
sendmail. The newer ones have changed this to a non root user for
security reasons. If a hacker is able to cause a buffer overflow on a
root owned process and take over then they're now running as
root...obviously not a good thing!
