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 /home/mailman/mail/wrapper wrapper
One complication: if you're running Majordomo and Mailman
simultaneously (i.e. in the process of migrating from MD to MM :),
then you might have a small problem because Majordomo also uses a
program called `wrapper'. In this case, Paul Tomblin suggests
calling the Mailman symlink `mailman_wrapper', and changing the
alias entries to call this instead of `wrapper'.
If you do this, you'll probably want to hack Mailman/MTA/Utils.py
to output the correct path to your wrapper program.
INTEGRATING SENDMAIL AND MAILMAN
David Champion has contributed a Sendmail mailer which you can use
so that Sendmail will automatically deliver to Mailman mailing
lists without manual intervention (i.e. updated an aliases file or
running newaliases). He suggests adding the following to your
sendmail.cf file:
MMailman, P=/etc/mail/mm-handler, F=rDFMhlqSu, U=mailman:other,
S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
A=mm-handler $h $u
The mm-handler script can be found in the contrib directory; copy
this script to /etc/mail and in your Mailman/mm_cfg.py file, add
the following:
MTA = None
Now Sendmail should automagically deliver to the standard Mailman
aliases for mailing lists.
Local Variables:
mode: text
indent-tabs-mode: nil
