This error indicates that you are running sendmail with a sendmail restricted shell, from which only authorized programs may be run. One such shell is "smrsh", which typically is configured by placing symbolic links from /usr/adm/sm.bin/ to the programs which are authorized. (On some recent Red Hat and possibly other systems the link is made to /etc/smrsh -- just note that this may be system dependent and be sure to read your sendmail restricted shell documentation carefully.)
