Further developments: there is a "mail" user already, and the SuSE config
uses it. Same principle, different name. Found way down in the config
files (.../sendmail-8.12.7/cf/cf/submit.cf) where to set the user to run as,
so I'll do that and see what happens. Hopefully that's the only place it's
needed.
I've *never* seen any program with so many config files, and READMEs. My
brain melted days ago. If this were Windows, I'd be stamping my feet and
moaning but somehow since it's a self imposed conundrum, I don't have that
luxury. If only our users knew what we endured for them! Ah well, I guess
the more arcane the system is, the nicer management has to be to me...
