Since your mail IS getting sent, it sounds like your sendmail command 
is succeeding and then failing and returning this error code. If, your 
$sendmail command is actually a shell script, it could be returning 
this result because whatever program it uses may be doing something 
unfortunate (like crashing). If your $sendmail command is NOT a shell 
script, then I have no idea what's up.

HEH. Nono, "foo" would be the arbitrary content of an email message. 
And you put an extra > in there. It should be:

    echo "foo" | /whatever/program/you/use

Or rather:

    echo "foo" | /whatever/program/you/use whatever args you use -f 
recipient@xxxxxxx
