This puts all recipients into the "To:" field, which has already lead to a privacy complaint at our site. Of course it's also a Really Bad Idea with large lists.

Checkins
by barry＠python.org 30 Dec '02

30 Dec '02

If anybody has any last minute checkins, get them in now. I plan to tag the tree and make the tarball for the release some time today. It's possible I'll have some time during the next 8 hours or so, but most likely it'll be when I'm done with work tonight (it's 9am my time right now). Cheers, -Barry

By the way, i've done extensive reading of: * Mailman INSTALL * Mailman README.SENDMAIL * Mailman README.LINUX * Sendmails various READMES pertaining to SMRSH etc * the mailman-developers list archives At this point, i'm out of ideas on what to try, except to abandon Mailman and switch to something like Majordomo, etc. And frankly i think i've run out of time. I've spent several evenings on this already. Getting any kind of mailing list up and running is more important than the bells and whistles that Mailman offers. thanks. -keith s. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Dec 2002 17:28:56 -0800 From: "Keith Steward" <ksteward(a)keithsteward.com> To: <mailman-users(a)python.org>, <mailman-developers(a)python.org> Subject: [Mailman-Developers] FW: [Mailman-Users] can't resolve "smrsh: mailman not available for sendmail programs" issue Message-ID: <!~!UENERkVCMDkAAQACAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABgAAAAAAAAAebN2b6Pb1RGjtQJgjI3Ph8KA AAAQAAAA/ea3UuMa1xGjtQAFXc7jfAEAAAAA(a)keithsteward.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Precedence: list Reply-To: keith(a)bioinformaticstech.com Message: 5 Danny, I had it that way (i.e. "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test1" in the /etc/aliases) before, and then tried the "|/etc/smrsh/mailman post test1", as indicated in the Mailman INSTALL doc.

You hit the nail on the head !!! Problem solved! Your comment prompted me to review the smrsh.c code within the sendmail distribution. When CMDDIR is not defined by the OS (I couldn't find in in any system *.h files), then in smrsh.c it defaults to /usr/adm/sm.bin/ . Even though RedHat7.2 already has an /etc/smrsh/ directory (including a link entry there for slocal), the Sendmail (at least the 8.11.6 version I downloaded and installed) was not using that directory. Instead, it was looking for the default /usr/adm/sm.bin/. The /etc/smrsh/ directory was a red herring! Once I created the /usr/adm/sm.bin, and chmod 755 (recommended by the smrsch/README within Sendmail), and then set up the symbolic link in there: mailman -> /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman the problem disappeared.

RE: [Mailman-Users] can't resolve "smrsh: mailman not available for sendmail programs" issue
by Keith Steward 30 Dec '02

30 Dec '02

Larry, BINGO! You hit the nail on the head !!! Problem solved! Your comment prompted me to review the smrsh.c code within the sendmail distribution. When CMDDIR is not defined by the OS (I couldn't find in in any system *.h files), then in smrsh.c it defaults to /usr/adm/sm.bin/ . Even though RedHat7.2 already has an /etc/smrsh/ directory (including a link entry there for slocal), the Sendmail (at least the 8.11.6 version I downloaded and installed) was not using that directory. Instead, it was looking for the default /usr/adm/sm.bin/. The /etc/smrsh/ directory was a red herring! Once I created the /usr/adm/sm.bin, and chmod 755 (recommended by the smrsch/README within Sendmail), and then set up the symbolic link in there: mailman -> /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman the problem disappeared.

Danny, I had it that way (i.e. "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test1" in the /etc/aliases) before, and then tried the "|/etc/smrsh/mailman post test1", as indicated in the Mailman INSTALL doc.
