I'd like to use sendmail -bv like this

:0
* | $SENDMAIL -bv $WHOTO

in front of an action to check its deliverable.
But - my sendmail when not running as root says

"Notice: -bv may give misleading output for non-privileged user
can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser."

I don't want to run this as root - is there some way
I can get around this  and give this user permission
to run that ?

I remember in the old days writing a little c prog
that acted as a wrapper and did stuff like this
(but my memory may be failing).

OSþdora core 3

Thanks

Harry
