As Collin noted, these look ok. But I have one thought that's such a

AHA!! Now THERE's a possibility that makes a lot of sense.
It could explain user adabas
being unable to read the mail spool when all other permissions appear
correct. It's a stretch because a whole lot of other problems would be
evident if this happened. But *if* this is a dedicated mail server, and
*if* sendmail is still suid root when it delivers mail (i.e. probably an
older sendmail), it might *possibly* explain all the circumstances.
Yep, and procmail (as soon as it tried to drop privileges for
delivery) would also be unable to write the spool.

Just a shot in the dark.
And likely to be on target. I do want to see if any of the relevant
directories are NFS mounted though.
