Hello greenhil

Thanks for your interest !
Maybe your problem is because smrsh.
From man smrsh :
"smrsh sharply limits the commands that can be run using the ``|program'' syntax of sendmail in order to improve the over all security of your system. Briefly, smrsh limits programs to be in a single directory, by default /etc/smrsh"

Try to put publishbymail.php inside the /etc/smrsh directory. In your /etc/aliases file, you can just write the php filename without the absolute path :
submit@godekalb.com: |publishbymail.php

I hope it will solve your problem ...
