Thank you Tony, I never thought to look there (/usr/share/doc/sendmail) for info, but that is exactly what I was looking for. Also to note was the bit about auto-generated sendmail.cf files, I am sure that one would have bit me a couple of times before I figured it out.Poke around their site again and look for the release notes for v8.12.x, and the SECURITY file in /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.12.*/In summary: sendmail is no longer suid root for locally generated emails, it is group suid, with the group being smmsp. In essence, locally-generated mail is now treated exactly like external mail.
