Mprog is "mailer program", just as Mlocal is "mailer local".

smrsh is "sendmail restricted shell". You say that the shell is "sh", but
suspect that the shell is smrsh and that it is "aliased" as sh.

This is the Mprog definition from my desktop computer:

Mprog,          P=/bin/sh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=10/30, R=20/40, D=$z:/,
                T=X-Unix,
                A=sh -c $u

Look for "P=". That definies what shell will be run. The "A=" defines what
values will be put into the argument vector. Here we have three elements

0: sh   <--- That will be the name that the program thinks that is has
1: -c   <--- Input value for the program
2: $u   <--- Input value, will be the name of the program to be run,
             in this case "/path/wrapper majordomo" or the like

When the error is returned it will say that sh says, "service
unavailable".

A look at "man smrsh" will probably solv your problems.
