That is >>NOT<< what you posted in another message as I recall it.

You said 'dead.letter' error message was given when you
used the     sendmail -s    argument,  and you said that when you used
mail -s   you got proper email but got the WARNING about RunAsGID
for MSG ignored.

I just checked the other mail that had that.

Can you verify just what errors you get with what commands.
I suspect the earlier one was correct and it is this one that is
wrong.
