For some reason, only root is able to send email. Trying to debug this is tough since no log is created when sending via non-root users, and trying to trigger sendmail from a command line just returns to the cursor with no information on screen or in the maillog.

My guess is that this is permission related, but everything I check seems OK.

Please share any ideas and let me know what other information might be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
 
Have you tried this ?

echo "test mail" | sendmail -v norm@domain.com
