I checked the modified program on RH 7.0 and 7.2 and it worked without error.
The only thing I did was adding a # before the line
"if a recipient file exists"

Could you please be more specific if the error still exists? Please include the
error message and line number. You may take a look on /bin/sh: If it does not
point to /bin/bash then this may be the error. Replace #!/bin/sh with
#!/bin/bash. I will fix this in the next version to be more specific.

Ciao,
Sandro
