+<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>
