Just cvsup'ed to 4.2-BETA and sendmail's  local mailer refused to play
ball. After a little hair-pulling I noticed the permissions of
/usr/libexec/mail.local lacked the setuid bit. Mail.local would return
an error (75 if I recall) everytime it was called because it didn't
have permissions to write to /var/mail/so-and-so.
