Could it be that sendmail is running chroot, or for some other reason looking 
for those files elsewhere, perhaps via symlink?  If people can come and 
change the symlink that's obviously as objectionable as being able to change 
the pointed-to file security-wise.  locate trusted-users would tell you if 
that was the case.  I use postfix which IIRC has some similar kind of setup.
