Hi All,
I have strange behaviour of sendmail. I have installed fresh vanilla of RHEL
5.5 and able to send test mail outside. After less than 6 hours, this is the
error I got.
# /etc/init.d/sendmail restart
Shutting down sm-client: [FAILED]

How to fix this?
I suspect the /etc/mail directory itself is world-writable as indicated by
the message above. Please examine the permissions of the /etc/mail
directory. I believe the correct permissions for /etc/mail are 755.
