[cobalt-developers] Email piping problem

[Michele Neylon -Blacknight Solutions <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This might be a very trivial problem, but I'm at a complete loss.
I have been trying to setup PerlDesk on a RAQ4 for the last couple of days. 
Everything seems to work, except for the email piping.
In /etc/mail/aliases I have:
trouble:"|/usr/adm/sm.bin/email.pl"  (a copy of the email pipe from Perldesk)
If I try sending a mail to that address I get 'user unknown' or similar

Second method.
I created a user 'support'.
In the user's directory I created a .forward with:
/usr/adm/sm.bin/email.pl

the script is set:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        18089 Aug  9 18:53 email.pl
 this gives a  550 Unsafe for mailing to files

I'm running out of ideas here, so any would be gratefully accepted!
