      This is a perl/suid root problem. Sendmail is suid root when it calls batemail and this causes issues since the script makes an openexec call. I have tried untainting the variables involved, but then the mail just mysteriously disappears; possibly because it wasn't run with the suid perl. I offloaded my lda programs such as auto-responders, vacation, etc to another server. The problem only effects mail that is sent locally to a local user, in which case sendmail is invoked as suid root and calls batemail with that flag.

      I mean that at this time we have not gotten it to work. I'm still toying with it to get a fix done up.
