I have an alias in my /etc/aliases which looks like

mailprint:"|/usr/local/bin/printmail"

and the prog is mode a+x.  If I mail to mailprint locally all works fine
but if someone outside mails in to ...mymachine!mailprint the sender
receives in return

   getwd: can't stat .
   554 "| /usr/local/bin/printmail"... unknown mailer error 1

I'd be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this.  I'm using
the sendmail config file almost as shipped with SunOs 4.0.3 only modified
to set relay mail etc. - no rules changed at all.  Many thanks in advance.
