Good, you said your MTA.
So you probably read README.SENDMAIL right?

But from this error you didn't read README.SENDMAIL.  But we're all guilty
of that.  How many of us really read a users manual before we crack open
something new and play with it (DVD Player/blender/printer/phone?).

So the command you should run is this.

# ln -s /var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper /etc/smrsh/wrapper

It should fix your troubles.
