Please point me in right direction.
'elm' in FBSD 4.3, 4.4-REL worked for non root.
Now, elm sometimes fails on 4.4-STABLE, for non-root
it fails using the OLD sendmail.cf, and the new one generated by make world.
/usr/sbin/sendmail is link to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper
ls -l /etc/mail/mailer.conf looks fine.
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  316 Apr 21  2001 /etc/mail/mailer.conf

failure is
Failed: /usr/sbin/sendmail: Bad file descriptor
I copied over anolder version of sendmail (which I know works) and it still
failed.

there is no entry in /var/log/messages or /var/log/maillog

elm is sgid mail (like before:
ls -l /usr/local/bin/elm
-rwxr-sr-x  1 root  mail  395804 Sep 25 11:37 /usr/local/bin/elm

just like on older systems
I looked for permissions problems, and, just wanted a general look around so
used the '-Voyer' mode for elm:

elm -V

funny thing.  it worked, with -V option to elm, it sent the mail for non
root user.
sendmail -oit user@host.tld < laptops.txt   works.

elm -s "test" scheidell@fdma.com < laptops.txt  failes:
Failed: /usr/sbin/sendmail: Bad file descriptor

elm -V -s "test" scheidell@fdma.com < laptops.txt works:
