[Mailman-Users] Newbe Headaches

[Bob Sully]

Jon:

You've seen the flurry of these over the past couple of weeks.  I firmly 
believe that the problem lies with some mod to smrsh in the latest 
versions of Sendmail.  I had previously been running 2.0.13 with 
Sendmail 8.12.3 without a problem...after upgrading to 8.12.7 I got the 
same message as below; same thing with 8.12.8.  The only way to get 
around this is to disable smrsh in sendmail.mc -> sendmail.cf.  This is 
bothersome, as smrsh does have some (albeit minor?) security value.  I'd 
like to see a fix for this soon.  Perhaps we should alert the Sendmail 
developers.
