[Mailman-Users] help setting up mailman

[Boris Goldowsky]

Roger Peña Escobio diagnosed my problem correctly.  Copying the mail/wrapper
into /usr/adm/sm.bin solved that problem.

However, now I get different errors when I try to subscribe.  I entered my
email address on the web form to subscribe, received the confirmation
message, replied to it, and the answering email I get is included below.

I did try setting  /opt/mailman/scripts/*  to be executable (they were
installed with mode 664), but that didn't help.  Any clues?

make  a link to the mailman wrapper programs in the /etc/smrsh dir
#ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper wrapper
maybe your sendmail need this for run the wrapper programs
