Hi,
thank you for all of your quick response.
diff of the binaries brought nothing, because they are the same. Both are symlinks to sendmail.postfix
ll /usr/sbin/sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Apr 16 2010 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta
ll /usr/lib/sendmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Apr 16 2010 /usr/lib/sendmail -> /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail
ll /etc/alternatives/mta* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta -> /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-aliasesman -> /usr/share/man/man5/aliases.postfix.5.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-mailq -> /usr/bin/mailq.postfix lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-mailqman -> /usr/share/man/man1/mailq.postfix.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-newaliases -> /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-newaliasesman -> /usr/share/man/man1/newaliases.postfix.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-pam -> /etc/pam.d/smtp.postfix lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-rmail -> /usr/bin/rmail.postfix lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail -> /usr/lib/sendmail.postfix lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Apr 17 2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmailman -> /usr/share/man/man1/sendmail.postfix.1.gz
The sendmail test-message (with parameter -vv) brings: postdrop: fifo_trigger: open public/pickup: cannot open file: No such device or address
This error also appear by executing "postqueue -f". but i can not see where

So root has not the ability to access the public-folder. Is that normal for postfix-2.3.3 ?
Perhaps same users (dovecot, root ...) has to be in the postdrop group, but what is about the security with that issue ?
Kindly regards and many thanks Philipp

and watch your sendmail log. And of course: echo "Subject: Test" | /usr/lib/sendmail email@example.com
one of the two will be the right one.
