[Mailman-Users] Test List

[Bill DeVos]

  Well, first day on the list and I get to answer a question, neato!  Here
is the documentation from the INSTALL file:

    Problem:  I send mail to the list, and get back mail saying,
              "sh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs"

    Solution: Your system uses sendmail restricted shell.  You need to
              configure smrsh by creating a symbolic link from the
              mail wrapper ($prefix/mail/wrapper) to the directory
              identifying executables allowed to run under smrsh.
              Some common names for this directory are
              /var/admin/sm.bin, /usr/admin/sm.bin or /etc/smrsh.
              
  and here is the command line that you would use from the information you
gave in your email.

ln -s /home/mailman/mail/wrapper /etc/smrsh/wrapper

  Enjoy!
