dbmail-lmtpd tries to execute /bin/bash ?? Why?
I'm guessing this is used for opening a pipe to sendmail for forwarding.
A pipe for lmtp, why? lmtpd should simply open a TCP port localhost:24 and
that's it, no necessity to start processes.
RSBAC denied execution of /bin/bash nevertheless everything works fine
so it's not necessary to execute /bin/bash.
Access to /bin/sh is required for opening a pipe (3). Of course we could redesign the forwarding and
notification code to use smtp for sending messages, but that seems like a bit of overkill at the moment.
