Hi everyone,

 

My installation of Mailman 2.0.6 / Sendmail 8.12.1 / Redhat 7.2 is generating the following error when I try to reply to a subscription confirmation.:

 

smrsh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs

554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

 

I found the following in the "Common Problems" page on the Mailman web site:

 

Problem: I send mail to the list, and get back mail saying, sh: wrapper not available for sendmail programs
Solution
: Your system uses sendmail restricted shell (smrsh). You need to configure smrsh by creating a symbolic link from the mail wrapper ($prefix/mail/wrapper) to the directory identifying executables allowed to run under smrsh.

 

Sooo, I went looking.

 

In my case, $prefix is /var/mailman, and my smrsh restricted programs directory is /etc/smrsh.

 

The required symbolic link exists in /etc/smrsh:

 

0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           25 Dec  6 00:35 wrapper -> /var/mailman/mail/wrapper

 

Yet I still get the error mentioned above.

Does anyone have any ideas what else could be going on here?
