+ + + + + + + + + ++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. + +
+One good way of enabling this is: + +
+ +
+
+ % grep smrsh /etc/mail/sendmail.cf +
+
+
+ % strings $path_to_smrsh | less +
+
+
+ % cd /var/adm/sm.bin +
+
+
+ % ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman mailman +
