as for the mta and smrsh, here is what i found in /etc/smrsh:
   0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Aug  4 09:31 slocal -> 
/usr/lib/nmh/slocal*
   0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           25 Dec 18 21:27 wrapper -> 
/var/mailman/mail/wrapper*

and i checked and the local entries were indeed in /etc/mail/access

 but found this in the /etc/sendmail.cf
Mprog,          P=/usr/sbin/smrsh,

Any further ideas or suggestions?

Regards
