I think this qualifies as a security issue because the only other solution I have would be to open up permissions completely and I don't know which I can safely do.
I am running SuSE 6.2 and I have Marc's firewall script version 2.5 running.
When trying to send mail from pine as a user from the linux machine, I got an "insufficient permission" message which I resolved by chmod 777 /var/spool/mqueue. I now get reminders of this "warning world writable".

Do you use AMAVIS as Virus checker?
The problem occurs with sendmail+amavis, for amavis changes the
permissions procmail is started with.
There is a patch available at the amavis homepage, bug shall be
fixed in next release.
