1) WTF are you piping sed to sed like that ?
Use sed -e whatever -e else -e somethingmore | wrapper

2) I think it's passing all this to exec, as is, you need to pass it to
the shell.
either enable this for the alias file or put all this in a single
shell script (which is what I usually do)

3) you don't need to use the mailman wrapper, there are some directors
floating around that deliver directly to mailman - I use a similar
approach.
