It looks like you have an alias pointing to a program that smrsh (sendmail restricted shell) doesn't consider safe. A message goes to cdimascio, which tries to shell out to a program, which generates an error that gets sent to cdimascio (or root/postmaster aliased to cdimascio?), then it all starts over again.
If you're using procmail as your LDA, consider getting rid of the .forward file and using a procmail recipe instead. You're also missing the closing double-quote in the .forward command (which sendmail is also complaining about), which could be the cause of the smrsh error. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Carmine DiMascio Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 9:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SAtalk] Mail Looping problem I attempted to setup spamassassin according to the instructions in the documentation I am running sendmail (8.11.0/8.11.6) on a linux machine (Linux 2.2.16-22) Anyway I now have a looping email message that I cannot stop I removed the .procmailrc file as well as the .forward file from my home directory I even tried shutting down sendmail and rebooting the server Nothing works, I continue to get the looping messages Here are the two message I continue to get Any ideas how I can stop them One message is this I have included the header information as well Received: by mail.novasoft.com (mbox cdimascio) (with Cubic Circle's cucipop (v1.31 1998/05/13) Thu Nov 21 13:32:27 2002) X-From_: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 21 09:50:03 2002 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from localhost (localhost) by mail.novasoft.com (8.11.0/8.11.6) id gALEo3E17662; Thu, 21 Nov 2002 09:50:03 -0500 Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 09:50:03 -0500 From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status; boundary="gALEo3E17662.1037890203/mail.novasoft.com" Subject: Postmaster warning: /home/cdimascio/.forward: line 2: cdimascio"...
