There have been a number of questions on this... and answers, but
I don't quite see an answer that works... yet.
I'm getting the dreaded smrsh error.
smrsh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs
554 5.0.0 "|/Users/mailman/Documents/mailman/bin/mail/wrapper post
third"... Service unavailable
When I do a
grep smrsh /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
I get
##### $ld: smrsh.m4,v 1.1.1.3 2000/06/10 00:40:36 wsanchez Exp $ #####
Mprog, P=/usr/libexec/smrsh, F=lsDFMoqeu9, S=EnfFromL/HdrFromL,
R=EnvToL/HdrToL, D=$z:/,

and I don't see an /etc/mail/sendmail.mc or /etc/sendmail.mc
I don't have a directory named /etc/smrsh or /etc/mail/smrsh or
/private/etc/smrsh or /private/etc/mail/smrsh
sudo mkdir /etc/mail/smrsh
cd /etc/mail/smrsh
sudo ln -s /Users/mailman/Documents/mailman/mail/wrapper wrapper
doesn't result in any change.
When I do
sudo find / -name smrsh -print
I get only
/usr/libexec/smrsh
When I do
sudo strings -a /usr/libexec/smrsh | egrep /etc
I get nothing.
These I found in my sub-set of the archives, trimmed a bit.
Perhaps we could collect the set of solutions and add an entry to:

Be sure that the path to "wrapper" is correct (~mailman/mail/wrapper), and
that you have a link to that file in your /etc/smrsh directory (if you use
Sendmail and have smrsh turned on).

Yeah, it's a sendmail thing... creating a sym link to it from wrapper
fixes it...

Arrgh! Sendmail 8.12.1 moved smrsh to /usr/adm/sm.bin.

Ok, I've found the directory. It was /usr/lib/sm.bin/.

Looks like a smrsh problem. You need to create a link from
/home/mailman/mail/wrapper to the smrsh directory.

what is going wrong here? i already created the symbolic link from
/usr/sbin/smrsh
cd /usr/sbin/smrsh
ln -s /var/www/html/mailman/mail/wrapper
and restarted the sendmail service. What have i not done?

/usr/sbin/smrsh is an executable... you probably wanted to
cd /etc/smrsh before symbolically linking.

When I disable smrsh in sendmail all works fine, but with smrsh I got
a "local configuration error" mail from sendmail.
In sendmail.mc smrsh is activated: FEATURE(smrsh,
`/usr/lib/sm.bin/smrsh')dnl
In /usr/lib/sm.bin/smrsh the link to wrapper is created like the
installation maual requires but it dont work.
I am using debian. In the INSTALL file is written not to use
/usr/lib/sm.bin because it is an error in debain.
Instead one should use /usr/admin/sm.bin, but this dont work
at all - because of config in sendmail.mc.

In /etc/mail/sendmail.mc you should have:
FEATURE(`smrsh',`/usr/sbin/smrsh')dnl #(your smrsh may be installed in
another dir)
This feature enables sendmail to use sendmail restricted shell. Sendmail
simply references the FEATURE value when attempting to execute programs in
the aliases.
First, let's check where your smrsh is located ... using find or which. it
should be in the directory referenced above in the sendmail.mc file. If
it's not there then modify the FEATURE statement to
point to the location.
---snip
[root at phaedrus mail]# cd /
[root at phaedrus /]# find . -name smrsh -print
./etc/smrsh
./usr/sbin/smrsh
---snip
The first directory is the working directory... the second is the
executable. Like I said before - yours may be different so execute the
find and see where they are for you.
When you have smrsh enabled in sendmail.mc - you should then link the
wrapper to mailman thusly:
---snip
[root at phaedrus mail]# ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper /etc/smrsh/wrapper
[root at phaedrus mail]# ls -l /etc/smrsh
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Nov 30 13:11 wrapper ->
/home/mailman/mail/wrapper
---snip
make sure you replace /home/mailman/mail/wrapper with the path to your
actual wrapper.
This worked for me - I hope it works for you. Regarding the fact that
the INSTALL on debian has a problem - I cannot help you there - I am
using RedHat. It really should not matter however, once you
locate the two things you need - the smrsh working directory and the
actual shell executable (smrsh) - then put the reference to the
executable into the sendmail.mc.

Ran into the same problem myself. The difference you are reporting is
the wrapper program in /etc/smrsh and in
/home/mailman/mail/.
It's difficult to maintain separate copies or to update the copies
as necessary. You should change the
/etc/smrsh/wrapper entry into a Logical link in /home/mailman/mail/wrapper.
That way when you update the
/home/mailman/mail/wrapper program the same happens in the /etc/smrsh/wrapper.

I am not certain, but this may be in place of the /etc/smrsh directory.

Thanks for the suggestions, however, smsrh was compiled with /etc/smrsh as
the link directory and /etc/smrsh/wrapper is a symlink to
/home/mailman/mail/wrapper already.

as for the mta and smrsh, here is what i found in /etc/smrsh:
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Aug 4 09:31 slocal ->
/usr/lib/nmh/slocal*
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 18 21:27 wrapper ->
/var/mailman/mail/wrapper*
and i checked and the local entries were indeed in /etc/mail/access
but found this in the /etc/sendmail.cf
