Maybe someone who knows more about sendmail than me can help,

I'm trying to setup a mail alias that gets piped to a perl script.  Here
is the line in my /etc/aliases file:
testboy: "| /var/dev/bin/test.pl"

And here is the response I get:
550 /var/dev/bin/test.pl... Can't create output: Permission denied

I seem to remember there is some security thingy that restricts where
scripts can live when invoked by sendmail.

Thanks in advance!
