New issue by Amooti73 on mblaze repository

https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze/issues/216

Description:
This is not really an mblaze issue, I would say.  A search for "sendmail permission denied" brings quite a few results, none of which are specific to mblaze nor to Debian, except that it does not seem to happen with Ubuntu. However, I thought I would just report this challenge.  I also then switched to dma to see if that might work, but the permission denied message persisted.

I was unable to find a solution within my "technical capacity".  I just made a rather crude work around that would allow me to use mcom and mrep as a root user.

When one is root, then $HOME=/root, so, sorry, but I hacked the mcom script to replace $HOME with /home/user (/home/john in my case) and also placed an export statement in /root/.bashrc to so that $MBLAZE points to  /home/user/.mblaze

Things worked in Debian 10, but...

I'm sure there are more "elegant" ways to handle this!
