Very Computer

I have been getting this "X-Auth" message added to all of my outgoing
mail on my Linux system since I installed it (Slackware 3.1).  I've
resolved other issues BUT this one has been lived with.  Just today I
noticed my ISP shell Debian installation (a VERY recent version) does
the same thing.

The mail is still sent OK, its just "annoying" more than anything else
I guess.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to the proper way to resolve it?

The complete message is:
X-Authentication-Warning: mitton.dyn.ml.org: dmitton owned process
doing -bs

[This seems to be a problem with Pine launching sendmail directly.]

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

For anyone who is interested in this ... the solution has been
revealed ... Andreas Mitsis sent me the information concerning
sendmail "trusted users'.

To resolve this edit your /etc/sendmail.cf file and scroll down
looking for a "trusted Users" section.  Mine contained entries like
"Troot" and "Tpostmaster", I just continued addin users such as
"Tdoug" and "Tdmitton".

In addition, apparently V8 of sendmail uses the syntax "Ctuser".
