Hello everyone,

I just installed the latest version of Python, Sendmail, and Mailman on my server.. Everything checks out except for when mailing the list.. Depending on how I set up things I get back failures.. Now, I have read the faq, and this had some information on the problem, but that didnt work for me... I've tried creating the wrapper (ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper /etc/smrsh/wrapper) and I get the same error, even when my aliases point at this. I've tried disabled smrsh in sendmail, and I still get errors, ie Operation not permitted etc. I've toyed with the permissions of the symlink and the smrsh directory, all to no avail... I've set up mailman on several different systems before, all sucessful. This one is baffling me however...

Server: RH Linux 7.0 Sendmail 8.11.4 Python 2.1.1 Mailman 2.0.6

Executing the wrapper from the command line gives no strange errors or failures... Any information on this would be very appreciated... Mailman has been bulletproof for me on all my other systems.. Thanks to you all!
