Hi,
I was running Red Hat 6.0 and Mailman(beta3) quite happily until I decided to upgrade to 6.2. The upgrade ran smoothly, but of course once I had the system up, my lists did not want to work at all..
The first problem that I discovered was that Python 1.5 had been installed and 1.6 was not being referenced. That I fixed by renaming the /usr/bin/python file to python.old and sym-linking thee /usr/local/python to /usr/bin/python .. That seemed to fix that problem..
The next problem was with the a message sent back to mail subscribers that the service was not available.. After MUCH searching and hunting round, I discovered a message at http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/faqs/RH-sendmail-FAQ/x99.html that told of how MajorDomo needed to be fixed because of the new use of smrsh.
I did what they told me there, but applied it to sendmail ie.. cd /etc/smrsh ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper .
This seemed to fix the errors in the /var/log/maillog file.
Here is the error message sent to people trying to post:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post impteam" (expanded from: impteam)
----- Transcript of session follows ----- sh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs 554 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post impteam"... Service unavailable
The problem is that the mail is still not being delivered to the list subscribers.. but no errors are being generated..
What do I still need to do ? The other problem is that the urls /mailman/admin and /mailman/listinfo are also not working, even though they did before. This is the next problem...
Anyone who can help me ?
