Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't
either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98 directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin repository.

+<h3><a name="SECTION001631000000000000000">
+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>
+</ul>
