1) should it be setuid discuss? (what about dspipe)

2) under solaris dsmail always returns:
554-/usr/athena/bin/dsmail - 50

I addition to causing the mail to be bounced this is a rather useless
error message.  I looked up the sendmail return code 554 is something
like service unavailable.


Here's the bounced mail:

The original message was received at Tue, 5 Jul 1994 17:59:08 -0400
from the-other-woman [18.177.0.161]

   ----- The following addresses had delivery problems -----
"|/usr/athena/bin/dsmail -s 20 -d /usr/spool/discuss/bazquux"@the-other-woman.LOCAL  (unrecoverable error)
    (expanded from: bazquux@tow.mit.edu)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
554-/usr/athena/bin/dsmail - 50
554 "|/usr/athena/bin/dsmail -s 20 -d /usr/spool/discuss/bazquux"@the-other-woman.LOCAL... Internal error: Error 0

   ----- Original message follows -----

This is different than dsmail's behavior under 7.6 which was to
coredump.
