Here it is:  using 775 for directories, and 664 for files, I was getting the sendmail group writeable error, and when I changed permissions to prevent this, I got the unknown mailer error
2, cannot open file (no permission).  So, I  changed a sendmail variable to allow group writeable directories, and set permissions as stated here.  It works.  Now, I am going to set up
the archive.
