If /etc/mail is world-writable, then anyone can remove the file /etc/mail/trusted-users and then install a new file /etc/mail/trusted-users.
In this case "cannot" does not mean that the kernel would disallow the open, it means that sendmail itself is disallowing the operation.
Set the directory to 755 rather than 777. Expect sendmail to complain that you set the files to 777 next. It wants to be sure that the files must have been created by root.

sendmail::milter
Sendmail::Milter(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Sendmail::Milter(3pm)
NAME
Sendmail::Milter - compatibility interface for Sendmail::PMilter
SYNOPSIS
use Sendmail::Milter;
Sendmail::Milter::auto_setconn(NAME);
Sendmail::Milter::register(NAME, { CALLBACKS }, FLAGS);
Sendmail::Milter::main();
DESCRIPTION
This is a compatibility interface which emulates the "standard" Sendmail::Milter API.
FUNCTIONS
The following functions are available in this module. Unlike "Sendmail::PMilter", this interface involves a single, global instance of
milter data, so these functions are called without an object reference.
For each function, see the description of its object-based counterpart in Sendmail::PMilter.
Sendmail::Milter::auto_getconn(NAME[, CONFIG])
Sendmail::Milter::auto_setconn(NAME[, CONFIG])
Sendmail::Milter::main([MAXCHILDREN[, MAXREQ]])
Sendmail::Milter::register(NAME, CALLBACKS[, FLAGS])
Sendmail::Milter::setconn(DESC)
One extension function is provided by this implementation.
Sendmail::Milter::get_milter()
Returns the "Sendmail::PMilter" instance underlying this emulation layer. This allows mostly-unmodified milter scripts to set PMilter
extensions (such as dispatcher and sendmail.cf values). It is recommended, however, that new code use the object instance methods
described in Sendmail::PMilter.
EXPORTS
In order to preserve compatibility with the standard "Sendmail::Milter" interface, all SMFI* constants described in Sendmail::PMilter are
exported into the caller's namespace by default.
(Note that "Sendmail::PMilter" itself does not export these symbols by default.)
