OK, I must be tripping up over something trivial, but it seems "ordinary"
users cannot run sendmail to send e-mails from jobs...

I have a command file that takes various parameters, one of which is a file
to send as the "body" of the e-mail.  The command file builds up the
appropriate headers, appends the "body" file, then issues the command:

   run sendmail.pub.sendmail;info='-t';stdin=!WORKFILE

(workfile is basically "/tmp/mailbag.!hppid")

This command works fine if the sender has capabilities (via god), but
silently fails if they are a generic "user" of the system -- could it be
something goofy like not being able to read /etc/sendmail.cf as a "normal"
user?  If so, how should the sendmail.cf file be "secured"?
