The remedy that Nolan provided corrected the use for non-root users (for a time). HOWEVER, sendmail's privileges revert back over time and the owner becomes mail again and I don't know when. I even rebooted my machine to see if the privledges changed after reboot. They didn't as far as I could see. So, over a period of time ... I went to lunch and behold -r-s, reverts to -r-x. How does this happen?

It probably has something to do with a mandrake-specific package called "msec". Ask on the Mandrake Linux (or Mandriva, or whatever it's called this week) user list...
