Can't use sendmail ( Program mode requires special privileges)

I just updated sendmail to the newest version and got into this trouble. Somehow only can root can use sendmail while the other users will simply get "SMTP went away" when using pine or

"can not chdir(/var/spool/mqueue/): Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser."

So I check the configure file and this is what I got

Quote:
$ grep TrustedUser /etc/mail/*cf
/etc/mail/rh.cf:#O TrustedUser=root
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf:#O TrustedUser=root
/etc/mail/submit.cf:#O TrustedUser=root
Is there anyway I can fix this?
