At the worst change the line ...

O DontBlameSendmail=forwardfileingroupwritabledirpath

... in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to this:

O DontBlameSendmail=forwardfileingroupwritabledirpath, 
ForwardFileInUnsafeDirPath, ForwardFileInUnsafeDirPathSafe

(all on one line, of course)

It relaxes sendmails strictness on .forward files.
