Committing lots of documentation updates, including linking up to the new

mailman-installation guide, and filling out the other formats that seemed to be missing.

+6.3.1 Sendmail ``smrsh'' compatibility</A>
+</H3>
+
+<P>
+Many newer versions of Sendmail come with a restricted execution utility
+called ``smrsh'', which limits the executables that Sendmail will allow to be
+used as mail programs.  You need to explicitly allow Mailman's wrapper program
+to be used with smrsh or Mailman will not work.  If mail is not getting
+delivered to Mailman's wrapper program and you're getting an ``operating
+system error'' in your mail syslog, this could be your problem.
+
+<P>
+One good way of enabling this is:
+
+<P>
+
+<UL>
+<LI>Find out where your Sendmail executes its smrsh wrapper
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+            % grep smrsh /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
+          </pre></div>
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Figure out where smrsh expects symlinks for allowable mail
+          programs.  At the very beginning of the following output you will
+          see a full path to some directory, e.g. <span class="file">/var/adm/sm.bin</span> or
+          similar:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+            % strings $path_to_smrsh | less
+          </pre></div>
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>cd into <span class="file">/var/adm/sm.bin</span>, or where ever it happens to reside
+          on your system - alternatives include <span class="file">/etc/smrsh</span>,
+          <span class="file">/var/smrsh</span> and <span class="file">/usr/local/smrsh</span>.
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+            % cd /var/adm/sm.bin
+          </pre></div>
+
+<P>
+</LI>
+<LI>Create a symbolic link to Mailman's wrapper program:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+            % ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman mailman
+          </pre></div>
+</LI>
