Well, first day on the list and I get to answer a question, neato! Here is the documentation from the INSTALL file:
Problem: I send mail to the list, and get back mail saying,
"sh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs"
Solution: Your system uses sendmail restricted shell. You need to
configure smrsh by creating a symbolic link from the
mail wrapper ($prefix/mail/wrapper) to the directory
identifying executables allowed to run under smrsh.
Some common names for this directory are
/var/admin/sm.bin, /usr/admin/sm.bin or /etc/smrsh.
and here is the command line that you would use from the information you gave in your email.
ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper /etc/smrsh/wrapper
Enjoy!

Hello all,
I'm running Linux 6.1, Mailman 1.1, Python 1.5.1 and Apache 1.3.11 and sendmail.
My project here is to setup a list server for faculty and students to create their own lists.
I followed the Mailman installation instruction and run
./configure with all default options.
my aliases file looks like this:
/etc/aliases
#Test mailing list test: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test" test-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test" test-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" owner-test: test-admin owner-test: test-admin
I run newaliases after I update my aliases file.
I also setup a test list. I was able to create the list, login the admin web page and subscribe to the list. I got a Confirmation email from test-request@lqldap.mydomain.edu.
However, I was not be able to send mail to test-request@lqldap.mydomain.edu. Here is what I got :
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" (expanded from: <test-request@lqldap.mydomain.edu>)
----- Transcript of session follows ----- sh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs 554 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"... Service unavailable
When I send a email to test@lqldap.mydomain.edu, I did not get rebound. from maillog it lists:
lqldap smrsh: uid 8: attempt to use wrapper mailowner test lqldap sendmail[1234]: MAA01234: to="|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test", ...miler=prog, stat=Service unavailable lqldap sendmail[1234]: MAA01234: MAB01234: DSN: Service unavailable lqldap sendmail[1234]: MAB01234: MAC01234: return to sender: Service unavailable
I look up the installation guide, it said I need to "configure smrsh by creating a symbolic link from the mail wrapper to the directory identifying executables allowed to run under smrsh."
I look up my /etc/smrsh, there is no files there in the directory.
Would someone show me how to configure the smrsh and create the symbolic link ?
Thanks.
Lin
