[Mailman-Users] Question about MailMan problem

[z at singtel.telcosucks.org]

If you had read one of the earlier postings that was made on this list,
this is actually due to the different configuration in the latest Redhat
in that it restricts you from running any external apps that are not
specified by making a link to /etc/smrsh
to do this, simply go to /etc/smrsh and type the command
ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper

All your mail should go through fine then.

Regards,
Daniel
