il.cf: line 690: fileclass: cannot open /etc/mail/sendmail.cw: World writable di

Thanks, Manuales.

Check the permissions on the /etc/mail directory. It looks as if it is world-writable which is dangerous. Ours are set to 555.
No matter where you go...there you are.

Permissions on directories incorrect.
