I just installed mailman on a slackware Linux box i am running.. it's currently using sendmail 8.9.3/8.9.3 .. if i send an email to the list i have setup (which appears to be setup properly) i get this error in my /var/adm/maillog:
May 13 09:00:46 absolut sendmail[4667]: JAA04667: from=<tbowman@sequeltech.com>, size=450, class=0, pri=30450, nrcpts=1, msgid=<81DCCCD6EFCED011AB5200805FA6FBC98ADF40@bellprod.sequeltech.com>, proto=ESMTP, relay=[207.109.88.2] May 13 09:00:47 absolut sendmail[4668]: JAA04668: clone JAA04667, owner=posse-admin May 13 09:00:47 absolut sendmail[4668]: JAA04668: to="|/personal/mailman/mail/wrapper post posse", delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, stat=unknown mailer error 126 May 13 09:00:47 absolut sendmail[4668]: JAA04668: JAB04668: DSN: unknown mailer error 126 May 13 09:00:47 absolut sendmail[4668]: JAB04668: to="|/personal/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner posse", delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, stat=unknown mailer error 126 May 13 09:00:47 absolut sendmail[4668]: JAB04668: to=MAILER-DAEMON, delay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=User unknown May 13 09:00:47 absolut sendmail[4668]: JAB04668: JAC04668: return to sender: User unknown
when mail is sent to posse@leech.org [posse is the name of the list] ..
/etc/aliases: mailman: juice@leech.org mailman-owner: mailman@leech.org posse: "|/personal/mailman/mail/wrapper post posse" posse-admin: "|/personal/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner posse" posse-request: "|/personal/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd posse" owner-posse: posse-admin posse-owner: posse-admin
..
any ideas would be greatly apreciated..
thank you.. tom

It is possible you forgot to run "newaliases" after editing your /etc/aliases file? Only other thing I can think of is that the permissions on your ~mailman tree might not allow the wrapper program to "post" to the list because either the script (post) or the lists directory permissions are too restrictive or otherwise incorrect.

Check the permissions on *all* path components from / to /personal/mailman/mail/wrapper.
Sendmail 8.9.x is very picky about group/world writable directories for delivery via pipes to programs (among other things). You might have to start fiddling with DontBlameSendmail option.
