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
+ or Mailman will not 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).
+ - Find out where your Sendmail executes its smrsh wrapper
- - create a symbolic link to Mailman's wrapper program
+ % grep smrsh /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
- 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):
+ - Figure out where smrsh expects symlinks for allowable filter
+ programs. At the very beginning of the following output you will
+ see a full path to some directory, e.g. /var/adm/sm.bin or similar:
- % cd /etc/smrsh
- % ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman mailman
+ % strings $path_to_smrsh | less
+
+ - cd into /var/adm/sm.bin, or where ever it happens to reside on your
+ system, such as /etc/smrsh, /var/smrsh or /usr/local/smrsh.
+
+ % cd /var/adm/sm.bin
