Correct. Here's what you missed:

# ls -l /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail -r-s--x--x 1 root daemon 140239 Nov 28 21:01

On a default install of Courier, "sendmail" is setuid root.

Hmm, thanks to you both, I indeed missed that. I'm running Courier 0.42 on Debian/testing, so I now checked whether the Debian packages do properly install `sendmail` as "suid root", and it seems they do:

$ ls -la `which sendmail` -r-s--x--x 1 root daemon 28088 2003-09-11 23:42 /usr/sbin/sendmail

No, it's not OK. Permissions on something is not set properly; for some undefined value of ???something???.

Try reporting this to the Debian port maintainer; have the port maintainer double-check the permissions and ownership of everything.

Pardon me, but what's the difference between these permissions? I had problems similar to Julian when I tried the python-filters floating around a while ago. And what is ???something???

Using SMTP was no problem but sending email via mutt (using sendmail) ended in permission problems, so I uninstalled the python-filters again.
