I have postfix not sendmail installed. sendmail needs to able to run
from a non-root process when performing the function of delivering a
single e-mail for a local user.

rum:/spare/tmp> mail -s "test diff" jgarzik@mandrakesoft.com < diff
rum:/spare/tmp> send-mail: warning: sendmail is set-uid root, or is run
from a set-uid root process
