Since nobody has responded, I thought to place here the fix for the the sendmail groupwritable claims for the two file: local-host-names and trusted-users as follows:

1) Edit your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and change:

a) Fw/etc/mail/local-host-names ==> Fw-o<space>/etc/mail/local-host-names
   b) Ft/etc/mail/trusted-users ==> Fw-o<space>/etc/mail/trusted-users
       My mistake.  Here is the correct fix for above:
b) Ft/etc/mail/trusted-users ==> Ft-o<space>/etc/mail/trusted-users

   replace <space> for actual space character!

NOTE: Your /etc/mail permissions are fine - no permissions changes are required at all for the files nor the directories or it's parents. This is a change by sendmail.org
              I think - dunno WHY, but there it is.

As for Spamassasin and ClamAV - there is no known fix for this that I know of - does anyone know? Has *anyone* gotten these to work? Why hasn't anyone said anything about this anywhere that I know of? I got this above information from a blog site of all places so there has been problems reported and a fix - but not for Spamassasin or ClamAv

Thanks!

I have now solved my problem! Please ignore all this posting regarding making any changes whatsoever! It turns out, that for some reason, my root filesystem (/) had groupwrite turned on! Once I set / to mode 0755, everything was restored. Sendmail was right after all, in warning of unsafe groupwrite that followed all the way up the tree
to /!
