I use two copies of sendmail. The publicly executable is setuid "smtpd". A second copy is not setuid and is executed only by root at boot. I use RunAsUser=smtpd so sendmail run as smtpd after a connection is accepted. /var/spool/mqueue is owned by smtpd. The only gotcha is that user directories must be at least o+x so sendmail running as smtpd can read .forward files. John Capo
