OK, I'd just started on maillog and spotted smrsh running as UID 8 (mail)

Cool, thanks. I was just about to start wading through the sendmail book.
Now all maillog says is
May 4 14:44:06 footle LSV:lsv_amin[16320]: Unable to deliver mail to: listserv
May 4 14:44:06 footle LSV:lsv_amin[16320]: **Error(13)** A call to fopen() failed.
May 4 14:44:06 footle sendmail[16318]: OAA16316: to="|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /home/listserv/spool listserv", delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, stat=unknown mailer error 202
The target directory /home/listserv/spool is owned by listserv, group root,
and rwx to both...lsv_amin is owned by root and has the sticky bit set,
so why can't smrsh open the target file to write the mail?
