[Mailman-Users] help needed: "Operating system error" message - no mail sent .... sigh

[Carl Spies]

Hi there

I'm running MailMan 2.0..13-3 (rpm) on Red Hat 7.2 with Sendmail 8.11.6-3

Keep getting the following errors:

Dec 10 09:01:53 panegyris sendmail[1469]: gBAH1r801468:
to="|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post neurons",
ctladdr=<neurons at neurosemantics.com> (516/0), delay=00:00:00,
xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=30311, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Operating system
error

xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=138379, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Operating system
error

I've read the Main FAQ (especially 3.14.) and have confirmed that all is in
place and working - the alias' entry, the symbolic link to wrapper in smrsh
etc etc.

I'm puzzled - any ideas on the problem?

Get thsi error message mailed too:

    fp = open(dbfile)

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Warm regards
