I am the sole user of a Linux PC connected to the Internet via
telephone. Therefore, I have Sendmail set up to queue messages. I notice
that Sendmail expects CHMOD 700 for /var/spool/mqueue/, which is owned
by root. But of course, this wouldn't allow me to queue messages as a
normal user, so I changed the rights to universal access (which doesn't
make any difference in my case).

Does anyone know how mail queueing works in the case of a "real" mail
server? How do queued messages enter the queue securely?
