user damski on site3 has the permissions set incorrectly on that
.forward.www directory. Sendmail doesn't like world writable files
or directories because they create a major security hole. SSH or
telnet in and set the directory to 0644 - but you might want to poke
around a bit to see what's there. It's quite possible that something
ain't quite kosher here. Fact is, that's exactly what that error
is telling you....
