I am running sendmail (and MailScanner) as user mail and the files are
owned by mail with 600. You could change this to 640 with the group
configured in MailScanner.conf. And when the webserver runs as that
group it can at least read the files. Copying or moving (as we do) them
to /var/spool/mqueue is something different.
