Hello everyone,

I have a Mandrake (8.1) server and am having trouble with Sendmail. 
Basically, I want to have an alias that forwards the email sent to it to
a perl script.  I know stuff like this can be done and does work,
because that is how Majordomo is setup.  Majordomo works fine, but when
I setup an alias like below Sendmail says "Cannot mail directly to
programs" in the maillog.

Here's my Majordomo forwards (in /etc/aliases):
forward22:      :include:/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/informer
forward23:      "|/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper request-answer
informer"
forward24:      :include:/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/ocnews
forward25:      "|/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper request-answer
ocnews"
forward26:      "|/usr/maj/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper majordomo"

The key one's to look at are forward23, 25 and 26....they actually pipe
to the wrapper program and it spits back an email to send to the user
who origninated the email.

My line looks like this:

forward155      "| /home/admin/yptest.pl"

They are basically doing the same thing, but I can't get mine to work.

Any help is appreciated,
Kevin
