Three quick things to check.
ls -ld /etc/mail
ls -l /etc/mail/{local-host-user,trusted-users}
egrep "DEF_USER_ID|TRUSTED_USER" /etc/mail/sendmail.mc # check against passwd
Also you might see things better by running make and restart by hand.
make -C /etc/mail
service sendmail restart
I expect that TRUSTED_USER in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc is being confused
with /etc/mail/trusted-users. Some changes have been made in sendmail
so files that were smmsp:root or root:root are now different. In a chroot
universe the inside and outside UID/GID and names being used must match.
I think that "local-host-users" is a non standard file name. What and
why does it exist and how is it used.
