Oh, I came across that URL before but I skipped some of those steps about running as non-root. Because, I was thinking my sendmail is running as root:

# ps -ef |grep sendmail smmsp 8335 22869 0 17:54:58 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m root 8333 22869 0 17:54:58 ? 0:01 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m

I am not sure if the smmsp comes into play here? Doesn't smmsp in sendmail have more to do with mingling with the queue?

What uid does sendmail change to when doing deliver, if the uid's are not system users in my dovecot implementation?
