[Mailman-Users] Howto solve unknown mailer error without recompiling?

[Jon Carnes]

Last time I talked to the guy doing the Mailman RPM for Mandrake (my 
favorite dist), he said that he was setting it up to work with Postfix.  
You might want to look around and see if there is a specific MDK-rpm for 
sendmail.  Or you might want to use Postfix as your MTA.

An other option is to install from source.  Installing from source is very 
trivial:  You download the source and extract it (tar -xzf ...), change to 
the directory formed by untarring it and run "./configure" then "make 
install"
