sendmail / .forward / executables ???

[Darren Benham <gecko@benham.net>]

I've got an aliase setup (vote@benham.net) that's supposed to filter all mail
through a custom filter.  

I have a one-line .forward file:
        /home/vote/bin/test.sh           

test.sh consists of two lines
        #!/bin/bash
        cat > test

sendmail uses /bin/sh as it's mail shell and -r is NOT turned on... so...

why does the mail get bounced with the following respone:?

        550 /home/debian-vote/.forward: line 2: /home/vote/bin/test.sh... Can't
        create output: Executable files not allowed
