I've been struggling with this issue off and on for months, and it's time to beg, grovel, and plead for help.
mail sent to "listname" or "listname-request" seems to go into the ether-bitbucket, often with a "DSN unknown mailer error 1"
At first, I thought the problem was the lockfile issue mentioned for BSD machines using older version of python, so yesterday I installed version 1.5 final. No change. Then I thought maybe it was a mail-gid problem, but after several experiments changing the GID and noticing the result, that isn't the problem either.
I am running sendmail with smrsh and procmail as the local delivery agent. I am *also* running majordomo lists on the same machine, which also uses a "wrapper" program placed in .../sm.bin, so I'm wondering now if the problem is that I renamed mailman's wrapper from "wrapper" to "mmwrapper" in the ~mailman/mail directory, the .../sm.bin/ directory, *and* in the /etc/aliases file for the mailing list. I'm new to python so a "find -exec grep" through the mailman sources turned up some references to wrapper but I'm not sure if they were variablized or hardcoded.
Any help is appreciated.

I hate following up on my own posts, but I did try renaming the mailman wrapper back to wrapper (I had named it mmwrapper to avoid a conflict with Majordomo's wrapper) in ~mailman/mail, sm.bin (smrsh) and /etc/aliases, with no change...still an "unknown mailer error 1" :(
