chown sendmail?

[Lord Rodness <luna@REMOVEME.cs.umbc.edu>]

Having gotten sendmail up and happy and the relay testers telling me that 
it looks ok from that standpoint, I'd like to make sendmail run as 
something other than root.

First question is, does it require root?  If I can safely chown it to 
something else (setuid, I'm guessing), what files and directories to I need 
to change also?

I'm guessing, at a minimum:

/etc/mail
/var/spool/mail
/var/log/maillog* (?)


If anyone's done this and could provide a list of impacted files and 
directories, I'd appreciate it.  (Or, if anyone can justify sendmail 
running as root, that works too...)

Thanks..

       A: None.  That's a hardware problem.
