SENDMAIL `smrsh' COMPATIBILITY
Many newer versions of Sendmail come with a restricted execution
utility called "smrsh", which limits the executables that Sendmail
will allow to be used as mail filter programs. You need to
explicitly allow Mailman's wrapper program to be used with smrsh
before it will work. If mail is not getting delivered to
Mailman's wrapper program and you're getting an "operating system
error" in your mail syslog, this could be your problem.
One good way of doing this is to:
- cd into /etc/smrsh (or where ever it happens to reside on
your system, such as /var/smrsh or /usr/local/smrsh).
- create a symbolic link to Mailman's wrapper program
For example, if you've installed Mailman in the standard location,
you can just execute these commands (you might have to do these as
root):
% cd /etc/smrsh
% ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman mailman
INTEGRATING SENDMAIL AND MAILMAN
David Champion has contributed a recipe for more closely
integrating Sendmail and Mailman, such that Sendmail will
automatically recognize and delivery to new mailing lists as they
are created, without having to manually edit alias tables.
In the contrib directory, you will find four files
mm-handler.readme - an explanation of how to set everything up
mm-handler - the mail delivery agent (MDA)
mailman.mc - a toy configuration file sample
virtusertable - a sample for RFC 2142 address exceptions
