Hello,
I am new to the list, so if I'm asking something stupid, slap me in my back. =)
Today I installed mailman on my Debian (Sendmail 8.12.) using apt-get. Everything went well. Then I created a list and configured the aliases file like said by mailman.
Again, everything great until I startet to create a test-member and tried to confirm the confirmation-mail. I always receive an error:
<!-- Snip --> The original message was received at Thu, 6 Feb 2003 00:24:07 +0100 from webmail.xxx.xx [62.27.xx.xx] (may be forged)

What went wrong?
Kind Regards,

Good, you said your MTA. So you probably read README.SENDMAIL right?

But from this error you didn't read README.SENDMAIL. But we're all guilty of that. How many of us really read a users manual before we crack open something new and play with it (DVD Player/blender/printer/phone?).
So the command you should run is this.
# ln -s /var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper /etc/smrsh/wrapper
It should fix your troubles.
