The ownership of these files is wrong. The clientmqueue version of
sendmail should be putting hem into /var/spool/clientmqueue instead of
here. Check your startup script to ensure the right queues are being
used for the right sendmails. All the files in mqueue should be owned by
root. Set that, and these files should be delivered.
