It must have something to do with the fact that you're logging in as root
to send e-mail... :)
But seriously, my guess would be that you have a .signature file already
which is a regular file, and the open command is failing because of that.
It's probably using the O_EXCL option or some such thing (see man 2 open
if you care).
But, that's just a guess...
