sendmail

I'm trying to execute a sendmail alias script using this

# aliases for my system
addressx:        |sh /usr/share/scripts/myscript.sh  WON'T WORK
addressx:        '/usr/share/scripts/myscript.sh'  WON'T WORK
addressx:        '|/usr/share/scripts/myscripts.sh'  WON'T WORK

Can I execute scripts or it must be a binary file ?
