[Mailman-Users] Mailman problem? (Fw: Returned mail: unknown mailer error 126)

[Geert Altena]

Quoting Marcel Loesberg, <mhll at dds.nl>:
> Below is a returned mail I got when I tried to subscribe to
> my own Mailman "test" list.
> I use Mailman 2.0.4 on a RedHat 6.2 system with Sendmail 8.9.3

try 

test-request:    "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"

It might be that the Sendmail 'newaliases' is rather picky. IIRC
the '/path/to/mailman/bin/newlist <listname>' gives the aliases with
the double-quotes included...
