> sudo chmod go-w / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool /var/spool/mqueue /private I understood that the purpose of: define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL', `GroupWritableDirPathSafe') Was so that changed to the filesystem permissions were not nessacary. I've followed the tutorial here: http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/09/10/sendmail.html and I'm having the same result. Even though the dont_blame option is set sendmail still refuses to start.
