[Mailman-Users] Help newbie with a common error (smrsh)?

[Tony Croes]

I have just installed mailman on a RHEL4 system from the RedHat network via
RPM. I can reach the list and admin tools via the web (i.e. cgi working). I
can create lists, add new users and submit posts. However, these posts only
show up in the web archives. I'm not getting them as forwarded email
messages. 

When I look at the archives, I see repeated posts from Cron <mailman at server>
with the following error:

    "/bin/sh: mailman: command not found"

I've tried to follow the faq (3.14 Troubleshooting: No mail going out to
list members), but so far no luck. Here is some additional information:

mailman exists and is executable (tried as root):
[root at server mail]# /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman
Usage: /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman program [args...]
[root at server mail]# file mailman
mailman: setgid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not
stripped
[root at server mail]# ll mailman
-rwxrwsr-x 1 root mailman 19154 Aug 23 07:22 mailman

"smrsh" symlink:
[root at server mail]# ls /etc/smrsh/
mailman
[root at server mail]# file /etc/smrsh/mailman
/etc/smrsh/mailman: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman'

I have these aliases. I commented out the first two which must have been put
there by the RPM install. I have not tried commenting out the duplicates
lower in the list and leaving the originals in:

# mailman aliases
# mailman: postmaster
# mailman-owner: mailman

# mailman mailing list
mailman: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
mailman-admin: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
mailman-join: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
mailman-leave: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
mailman-owner: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
mailman-request: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
mailman-subscribe: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe mailman"
mailman-unsubscribe: "| /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman"

This is the kind of output I get when I tail maillog:

Thanks for your help.
