Sweet - for those of us who understood that - well it is a thought provoking
concept!

I wonder what other unsafe combinations might exist...

My guess would be that you've installed some convoluted command line in the
.courier file that uses the $SENDER environment variable in an unsafe way,
so the ampersand in the E-mail address gets interpreted by the shell.

Congratulations!  With a carefully-crafted message, an attacker can execute
any shell command on your box.

But again, that's just a guess, because you haven't explained what your
problem is.
