Granted that the owner does not own the message that is in the mail queue is
true. It is also true that the user does not have write permission to
/etc/shadow
but with
/usr/bin/passwd
he can change his password. So I guess my question is, is there a utility
available for sendmail that can remove a message that is in the queue which
the user who sent the message can remove?
