Hi,
  I compiled mailman-2.0.13 on HP-UX with follwoing options
./configure --prefix=/opt/mailman-2.0.13 --with-mail-gid=102 
--with-cgi-gid=102

"make" and "make install" was successful.

When i post an email to list from admin email address, I started getting 
bounce mail having following Mailer error shown below:

=======================================================================
  ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/opt/mailman-2.0.13/mail/wrapper post test"
    (expanded from: <test at mailman.mydomain.com>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----

I went through the mailing list and found out about smrsh and configured 
/var/adm/sm.bin direstory (For HP-UX) and made link for wrapper from 
/opt/mailman-2.0.13/mail/wrapper in /var/adm/sm.bin directory. Below is the 
message i see in syslog file.

If you observe the above syslog message, you can see the following message

"Sep 24 09:55:33 mailman Mailman mail-wrapper: Usage: 
/var/adm/sm.bin/wrapper program [args...]"


I read through all README, manual pages and mailing list, and i did not see 
any other solution other than smrsh.

Note: The man pages of smrsh says that smrsh does allow use of #! in sm.bin 
(Under HP-UX), but wrapper uses to post script as an argument in alias file. 
This post script has #! (as we use in any other shell scripts). Does this 
affect the smrsh program????

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
