1) Assuming this worked before when the permissions were like that,
check for SELinux messages in /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure
2) Change the permissions - I think the sendmail user might prefer
read permissions on that file and the directories above it, as I'm
not
sure it runs as the user (I don't play with sendmail much these
days).
Sam, thanks for the reply.
1) Nothing there, alas.
2) Permissions in the parent directories are drwxr-xr-x.
