That did it, but after i chowned /var/spool/mqueue.in to root:smmsp

When did sendmail start using a sendmail.conf file?? where was i when this 
happened  :0)

As for upgrading i try to use apt-get for everything as it keeps my 
maintenance on all my servers easier....

thanks for all the quick replies from everyone i really appreciate it!
