Hmm, so you're suggesting a sendmail wrapper that checks the
group/user of the invoking process, and if it is `nobody' (www,
whatever) just doesn't run the sendmail.  Worth a try, though it makes
system maintenance a PITA.  C'est la vie.

This would actually be a high-level implementation of the ACL concept
we discussed earlier.  Now I just hope that the illegitimate formmail
using clients don't discover the real sendmail binary :)

Thanks for the suggestion -- it's the most appropriate one so far.
