What is the correct permission to /usr/sbin/sendmail

Hello

I have this error when the any script that will actually need to execute this binary:

Could not execute /usr/sbin/sendmail

[cokequai]

The permissions are correct:

chmod +x /usr/sbin/sendmail
chmod g+s /usr/sbin/sendmail
chown root:mailtrap /usr/sbin/sendmail

fyi:

any idea?

The following are correct for the specified binary:

Path: /usr/sbin/sendmail
User ownership: root
Group ownership: mailtrap
Access permission (octal): 2755
Access permission (human-readable): -rwxr-sr-x

You could use the following command to check the above information to determine if a correction is necessary:

# stat /usr/sbin/sendmail

If a permissions or ownership correction is needed, the following two commands could be used to accomplish this:

# chmod -v 2755 /usr/sbin/sendmail
# chown -v root:mailtrap /usr/sbin/sendmail

On Linux (CentOS/RHEL) systems the sendmail binary is distributed with the Exim RPM that is installed by cPanel/WHM; to verify if your sendmail binary is one that came with the Exim RPM, you may use the following command:

# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/sendmail

The above command should display something like the following (where the #'s represent a version number):
exim-#.##-##.#_cpanel_maildir
