Description:
------------
I thought that the addresses passed to sendmail where escaped. It seems not to be. I have a problem with an email-receipient who gave me an address with an "&" in it an I got an error from the local shell-interpreter. The shell could not find the program...

Reproduce code:
---------------
Create a testscript with something like
<?php
  mail("test&script@my.domain.de", "Error, or what?", "...");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Sending the mail...

Actual result:
--------------
sh: line 1: script@my.domain.de: command not found
can't close /usr/sbin/sendmail
