Larry,
BINGO! You hit the nail on the
head !!! Problem solved!
Your comment prompted me to review the smrsh.c
code within the sendmail distribution. When CMDDIR is not defined by the
OS (I couldn't find in in any system *.h files), then in smrsh.c it defaults to
/usr/adm/sm.bin/ . Even though RedHat7.2 already has an /etc/smrsh/
directory (including a link entry there for slocal), the Sendmail (at least the
8.11.6 version I downloaded and installed) was not using that directory.
Instead, it was looking for the default /usr/adm/sm.bin/. The /etc/smrsh/
directory was a red herring! Once I created the /usr/adm/sm.bin, and chmod
755 (recommended by the smrsch/README within Sendmail), and then set up the
symbolic link in there:
mailman ->
/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman
the problem
disappeared.
Thanks!!!

are you SURE that your SMRSH is set to
use /etc/smrsh as it's CMDDIR?
Also, did you try it with the
/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman aliases as someone else pointed
out?
