[cobalt-developers] Auto Responders



Hi, as most of you know, the raq3 come with an auto responder. In my aliases 
file i have a line like:
freemail:  "|/usr/local/sbin/vacation.pl /home/sites/mes.txt 
avi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", \freemail
and if i send mail to this account, it works (sends to a pop account and i 
get an autoresponder).
Now, if i copy vacation.pl to freemail.pl, and write in aliases:
freemail:  "|/usr/local/sbin/freemail.pl /home/sites/mes.txt 
avi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", \freemail
then goto telnet and type newaliases
if i write an email to that address, the email goes to a pop account 
(freemail) as it should, but i then get an email error instead of the 
auto-responder:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
sh: freemail.pl not available for sendmail programs
554 "|/usr/local/sbin/freemail.pl /home/sites/mes.txt avi@xxxxxxxxxx"... 
Service unavailable

Does anyone know why? I copied the file EXACTLY same permission owner, 
etc.... Please help?? what does freemail.pl not available for sendmail 
programs mean? Is there  a file i must edit?

Thanks in advance,

Mista B.
