I'm not 100% sure what the actual problem was, but I have a good idea now.
As I mentioned, my alias looked like
thelist: "|/usr/local/bin/stripmime.pl|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post thelist"
as described on the stripmime.pl web page. The messages were going through
untouched. I suspect that sendmail was throwing away everything up to the
last pipe symbol before processing. A suggestion off-list that worked was
to create the following shell script as /etc/smrsh/stripmime that does
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/stripmime.pl | /home/mailman/mail/wrapper "$@"
and install that script as the alias target. I am now in business...
Alex, I know you don't want to get roped into supporting every possible
stripmime/MTA/MLM combination, but it might be worth mentioning this trick
related to sendmail on your web page.
Thanks for the help,
