	OK, sendmail is bouncing with
    ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post listname"
     (expanded from: <listname at difference.com.au>)

    ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.7.1 "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post vampire"... Cannot 
mail directly to programs

	Which would point to a smrsh problem.
	I'm running sendmail and mailman on debian testing.
	The things that make this unusual are
- it was formerly working until I did a recent debian upgrade.
- and /etc/mail/smrsh does definitely contain a link to the appropriate file
legba:/etc/mail# ls -l smrsh/

	It also seems to be happening despite me turning smrsh of in 
sendmail.mc etc.
	Any ideas?
	Cheers
