The DefaultUser line is commented out of sendmail.cf.

I assume this means it's using mail:mail (uid 8, gid 8).

However, could someone explain to me why it's getting gid 1 when it
expects 8?

[jbrelin at shaft]~$ grep mail /etc/group
mail:x:8:
mailman:x:103:

[jbrelin at shaft]~$ grep mail /etc/passwd
mail:x:8:8:mail:/var/spool/mail:/bin/sh
mailman:x:103:103:Mailman Mail Manager:/usr/local/mailman:/bin/sh

Thanks.
J.
