That error says your are using sendmail as the MTA and 'smrsh'
(SendMail Restricted SHell) to perform pipe deliveries. sendmail
delivers messages as root (I think), which is why allowing users to
run any shell command is dangerous. Thus they invented smrsh which
only allows certain commands to be executed. The command IFS='
isn't one of them, so smrsh complains. (looks like it really could be
smarter about that)
That's as much as I know about your setup. I use exim as my MTA and
MDA, and it is much simpler (IMO). Debian provides a ready-made
package with a script to set up the basic configuration. After that
plugging SA into the picture can be done by following these directions :
