                     “If you can't force it, source it!”

It seems that that latest version of sendmail doesn't like executing programs
from /etc/aliases except if it's majordomo.

I'm helping my roommate Rob [1] install some mailing list software. I use
something other than majordomo which works for me and is rather simple to
configure and use.

Only he's running Sendmail 8.9.3 and when we put the appropriate magic in
/etc/aliases I keep getting back:

-----[ shell ]-----

sh: mailserv not available for sendmail programs
554 "|/home/mailserv/bin/mailserv nnnnnnn-l request"... Service unavailable

-----[ END OF LINE ]-----

Which is new to me.

So I'm downloading the source code to Sendmail to see why it's failing.
