I just installed 4.6.2 on a system and now mail sent using the mail command
doesn't work.

I get an error that the temp queue file cannot be created, permission denied.

I have tracked down what I think is the problem:
$ ls -al /usr/libexec/sendmail/
total 587
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 9 13:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 1536 Sep 9 13:54 ..
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root 25 581728 Aug 14 14:21 sendmail

Should sendmail be group setuid? Should it be group 25? What is group 25?
