Sendmail is very picky about this kind of thing as world
writable files are very easily exploitable holes. I haven't been
following the thread (business is good...) but from the looks of
things you have a .forward file in /var/spool/mail/ - don't know why
you do... check it out. Take a peek at the file. Then figure out if
you need it or not. If not, get rid of it.
