This is a MTA configuration issue... Sendmail users may be able
to help.

Nota bene, use of Sendmail.py should be avoided at all costs
unless you use a version which has been patched to run
/usr/lib/sendmail _without_invoking_a_shell_.  You risk all
kinds of problems otherwise, including mail loops and very
bad security problems (essentially remote shell access).

Greetings, Norbert.
