Search Sources for clues :-)
	cd somewhere-you-suspect
	find . -type f -exec grep "Operating system error" {} /dev/null \;

String
	Operating system error
is not in majordomo sources for 1.94.5

String is in sendmail
In FreeBSD-7.1 I see that string in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/
	RELEASE_NOTES:	Mail delivery to files would fail with an Operating System Error
	include/sm/sysexits.h:**	EX_OSERR -- An operating system error has been detected.
	libsm/exc.html:	This represents a generic operating system error.
	libsm/strexit.c:		return ":451 4.0.0 Operating system error";
	src/sendmail.8:Temporary operating system error, 
Above is for sendmail released 2008/05/03 


PS You might want to check if you have this in your sendmail .mc file
	FEATURE(smrsh)
As I recall its so pipes are supported.

http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#smrsh
       Use the SendMail  Restricted SHell (smrsh) provided with
       the distribution instead of /bin/sh for mailing to programs.
       This improves the ability of the local system administrator
       to control what gets run via e-mail. If an argument is
       provided it is used as the pathname to smrsh; otherwise,
       the path defined by confEBINDIR is used for the smrsh binary
       -- by default, /usr/libexec/smrsh is assumed.

Cheers,
Julian
