I have a silly problem in using sendmail for the HP3000 -- the error message
is pointing out the problem, but I'm not sure of the "proper" solution :)

Basically, I have an (mpex) script that creates a message in the proper
"internet" format [header lines, a space, and the body] and runs sendmail as
follows:

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

Recently, our e-mail administrators "changed things" :( which prompted me to
change the sendmail.cf file.  Now, a "normal" [non-privileged/SM] user
cannot send messages.  The error message is:

   /etc/sendmail.cf: line 0: cannot open: Permission denied

Obviously, editing the sendmail.cf file changed or reset permissions, I'm
just not sure what they "should" be [nor, for that matter, who the proper
"owner" of the file should be]  Here is what I have:

                     MPEX %LISTF /etc/sendmail.cf   PAGE 1

>ls -al /etc/sendmail.cf
-rw-rw----   1 MGR.SENDMAIL      SENDMAIL   14948 Nov 29 17:42
/etc/sendmail.cf

This "realy is" in /etc, not a symlink to somewhere in the /SENDMAIL/PUB/
hierarchy

thanks in advance for your assistance
