Description untersta 2000-02-28 21:31:00 EST 
At our server one of our users sent an undeliverable mail
with /bin/mail and with
/usr/sbin/sendmail -q1m
added a daemon.

I was quite surprised when I saw in the mailog, that our server
tried 2000 times within one day to reach the unknown host. I was also
surprised a normal user can start sendmail as a daemon...

I don't have time right now to look at that closer. I set the permissions
of sendmail from rwsrwsr-x to rwxrwxr-x and changed the /var/spool/mqueue
from rwxrwxrwx (as linuxconf creates it) to rwx-wx-wx.

A normal user can yet still start a daemon, but sendmail doesn't process
the mails in mqueue any more. Yet you can still use mail.

Is sendmail supposed to work like that?

Assigning to a developer.This is an sendmail related issue and not a bugzilla related one so I am
refiling it under product: Red Hat Linux and component: sendmail. Then the
proper developer will be able to look at it.

This is normal behavior
