The message below piqued my interest in creating a sendmail alias on our server that pipes to a script in order to create lists. Can anyone tell me where I can find information on possible security issues I should be aware of in attempting this? (I don't know if all systems are like this, but on ours, such scripts are run by smrsh in a particular directory.)
