On Thursday May 13, 1999, John Lewis <jlewis@prospace.org> had this to say about "[Mailman-Users] wrapper problems with sendmail, help":

I recently had to reinstall sendmail. Now this is what I get:

Grep your sendmail.cf file for "smrsh" (sendmail restricted shell). If you have it, then the mailman wrapper program has to be copied from ~mailman/mail to the "sm.bin" directory where smrsh looks for "authorized" programs to run. Sometimes this is /etc/adm/sm.bin, or /usr/libexec/sm.bin, or /usr/local/etc/sm.bin (check the documentation or source code you compiled).

Hehe...I just looked at the INSTALL file in the mailman distribution and your question is right there, already answered.

The original message was received at Thu, 13 May 1999 09:02:14 -0400 from localhost

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner prospace-board" (expanded from: prospace-board-admin)

----- Transcript of session follows ----- sh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs 554 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner prospace-board"... Service unavailable

Help. How do I go about correcting this?

I'm now running sendmail 8.9.3-10.

Thanks.
