One of my list members forwarded me the attached traceback. I'm don't have much clue with regard to the email package, though, so I'm passing it along to the group.
The fact that the user who sent me the report is using the French locale may be of note.
The attached traceback was generated when the user attempted to unsubscribe from a mailing list to which they belonged.

After several attempts to get Mailman installed (including stable 2.0 final, and newest 2.1rc1), and hitting unresolvable "smrsh: mailman not available for sendmail programs" issues (despite trying numerous things), i'm just about ready to give up.
I've been able to get Mailman to send email to a new subscriber asking for confirmation, and the /var/log/maillog shows the response to the subscriber's confirmation email, but ALWAYS reporting the damn smrsh problem: -------- /var/log/maillog segment ------------ sendmail[30785]: gBTEUjD30785: from=ksteward@keithsteward.com, size=2749, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=test1-request@justice4injuredworkers.org (8/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=31743, dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable sendmail[30786]: gBTEUjD30785: gBTEUjD30786: DSN: Service unavailable sendmail[30786]: gBTEUjD30786: to=ksteward@keithsteward.com, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=31843, relay=keithsteward.com.

- restarting Sendmail daemon and Mailman's qrunner daemon after config changes.
By the way, i've done extensive reading of:

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. Both gave the "smrsh: mailman not available for sendmail" error.

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.
Thanks!!!

Larry,
Yes, the /etc/smrsh/ directory contains a symbolic link to the mailman wrapper: ie. /etc/smrsh/mailman -> /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman are you SURE that your SMRSH is set to use /etc/smrsh as it's CMDDIR?
Also, did you try it with the /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman aliases as someone else pointed out?

Did you put links to the $MAILMANHOME/mail/mailman program in the CMDDIR directory for your copy of SMRSH?
