I have setup sendmail and it was working with noproblem and all of a sudden non root users cannot sendmail.

error message:

sendmail Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser

when i: chmod 777 /var/spool/clientmqueue all users can send mail.

What went wrong and how can i fix this?

?? you rebooted

edit /etc/permissions.d/postfix and set the permissions you wish

I think he is using Sendmail as in the mta Sendmail, not the sendmail binary of Postfix. Fiddling with Postfix permissions won't help him.

Why doesn't the original poster search the documentary for TrustedUser. I suspect this group is allowed to use sendmail, so he would probably have to add the users to that group.

Sorry, can't help with Sendmail, shudder...
