yes, I know this is a frequently asked question and I know it's mostly sendmail related.
I want to strip out HTML/attachments from incoming mail messages. I've done some research and settled on using stripmime.pl until stripping out mime stripping is incorporated into Mailman. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting it running with sendmail/smrsh. I am running Mailman 2.0.5
I have doublecheck all the obvious things I can think of, such as: soft link from /etc/smrsh to stripmime rerun newaliases checked ownership and permissions (root, root, 755)
here is what the alias looks like:
## test mailing list ## created: 28-Jun-2001 mailman test: "|/usr/local/bin/stripmime.pl|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test" test-admin: "|/usr/local/bin/stripmime.pl|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test" test-request: "|/usr/local/bin/stripmime.pl|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test" test-owner: test-admin
What seems to be happening is that the smrsh is stripping off everything prior to wrapper and is never seen the stripmime pipe. Any suggestions? Is there a better option other than stripmime?

Not really sendmail related (IMHO).

My personal recommendation ... upgrade to mailman 2.0.6 (at minimum, probably best to go to 2.0.7) and apply Geoff Dairiki's demime patch.

I use demime, works fine. Also, since some of my users use majordomo, I can use demime for both apps.

Any of the sourceforge people want to work out why this patch does *not* show up in the list of patches against mailman, although referencing it directly works fine.

For sf.net requests, you want to open a support request on the sf.net web site instead of hoping that I'll relay the request for you ;-) (and if it's not my bug, I'd have to open the request and type it in for you)
All that said, the patch you mention is listed in the list of patches against mailman, right here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=300103&group_id=103&func=browse "413752 Coerce posts to plain text.* 2001-04-04 17:23 nobody dairiki"
