I cannot send or respond to list as the following error/s occur :-

###

May 19 22:33:42 www3 smrsh: uid 8: attempt to use smrsh -c
mailman_wrapper.mailcmd.test2

I have:-
1) added a symbolic link "mailman_wrapper -> /home/mailman/mail/wrapper" to
/usr/adm/sm.bin/
2) added the necessary aliases
3) and applied newaliases
4) make clean
5)  ./configure --with-mail-gid=140 --with-cgi-gid=11 (as logs told me)
6) make install
7) /home/mailman/Mailman/bin/check_perms (no errors)
8) crontab crontab.in

I am wondering about my syntax  in aliases file (see below):-

## test2 mailing list
## created: 17-May-2002 mailman

test2:                   "|/usr/sbin/smrsh -c "mailman_wrapper post test2"
# as per my logic
#test2:                   "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test2"    #as
per newlist instructions

test2-admin:             "|/usr/sbin/smrsh -c "mailman_wrapper mailowner
test2"
#test2-admin:             "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test2"

test2-request:           "|/usr/sbin/smrsh -c "mailman_wrapper mailcmd
test2"
#test2-request:           "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test2"
test2-owner:             test2-admin



and my virtusertable (I don't think I have a problem here because mail gets
as far as sendmail !!)

test2 at lists.utopiacom.net       test2
test2-admin at lists.utopiacom.net test2-admin
test2-request at lists.utopiacom.net       test2-request
test2-owner at lists.utopiacom.net         test2-owner

for the heck of it

the heck of it
MAILER-DAEMON at lists.utopiacom.net       MAILER-DAEMON      # not needed but
why not just for the heck of it

@lists.utopiacom.net    error:nouser  551  No such user here !    # not
needed but why not just for the heck of it
#@lists.utopiacom.net     /dev/null     # might have to - lets see !!

I hope that someone has come accross similar issues (in the nicest possible
way) and may be able to point me in
the right direction

many thanks
