No. Martin is right, your MTA setup is broken. The only
reason why mailx is setgid is in order to handle dot
locking files in a spool directory in which the user
would not have write permission.

You should be able to run the sendmail binary as an
ordinary user. If not, you need to fix that on the
sendmail side.
