OMG it's been ages since I've even looked at csh.  Not even sure WHY
anyone would need to do this in csh, but...

First...  It can't be on one line.  According to the man page "Both
foreach and end must appear alone on separate lines."  You also don't
want to be doing the $() notation for execution.  Use backticks.  Then
the word list must be contained in parens.

This should work:

foreach i (`cat deadmail`)
postsuper -d $i
end
