As quoted from <4711@bsu-cs.UUCP> by dhesi@bsu-cs.UUCP (Rahul Dhesi):
+---------------
| Using sendmail on a 4.3BSD system, I find that dead.letter is created
| with mode 0666 allowing read and write access by all.  I would like to
| change this to 0600 so only the owner has access to it.  Can't find any
| code for this in sendmail;  where should I look and what's the easiest
| way to change it?  (Ideal would be something to put in sendmail.cf so
| we don't need to recompile sendmail.)
+---------------

You didn't find the code in sendmail because it's in binmail.
