Yes, I could kill the message, but it's not the messages that's the problem.

It's been a while since I've tinkered with Sendmail, but I believe there's a
setting in there you can change to stop the error message.  "grep" through
sendmail.cf for "paranoid", "unsafe", "group" (might have to capitalize
first letter) and there may be a line you can change.  It's probably not the
safest fix though since it opens up your install to security problems.
