You might be running into the evil SMERSH... er, smrsh, that is. Do
'man smrsh'... here's the first bit:
DESCRIPTION
The smrsh program is intended as a replacement for sh for
use in the ``prog'' mailer in sendmail(8) configuration
files. It sharply limits the commands that can be run
using the ``|program'' syntax of sendmail in order to
improve the over all security of your system. Briefly,
even if a ``bad guy'' can get sendmail to run a program
without going through an alias or forward file, smrsh lim
its the set of programs that he or she can execute.
Briefly, smrsh limits programs to be in a single direc
tory, by default /etc/smrsh, allowing the system adminis
trator to choose the set of acceptable commands, and to
the shell builtin commands ``exec'', ``exit'', and
``echo''. [...]
