Hi Everyone,

I knew I could count on this list!

Correct permissions for Berkeley sendmail 8.8.6 can be set as I thought:
chmod 4755. It is not necessary to restart Sendmail after the permissions
have been changed.

Jim Lochowitz also suggested that I use 4555, since root doesn't need write
permissions. This made perfect sense to me, so this is what I went with.

Big thanks to the following for responding so quickly!

and all the others who may be sending mail while I'm posting my summary.
