Welcome back to the original question: How to permit all groups except
one to execute the sendmail binary. [1]

Not really an option. Can't keep the threshold too low, since
legitimate formmail usage would be affected (600 sites pointing to a
single formmail generate non-trivial amounts of traffic); can't keep
it too high otherwise the point of having the blocker is lost.

Look again: *sendmail binary*. It doesn't matter which MTA you use,
you still need the *sendmail binary* executable by everyone.
