Hey guys,
Has anyone actually recently gotten mm-handler to run?
Yes it can be made to work. I initially used the Perl script contribution by David Champion for several months, initially with MM 2.0.13 and later MM 2.1, but had to modify the original Perl script when I tripped over a defect in it which meant some incoming mail was lost under a particular set of error conditions. I then re-implemented the sendmail mailer idea in Python with a closer integration between the handler and Mailman; mailer logs to the Mailman logs, for instance. This Python version has been in daily use on the Mailman systems I manage for 2 or 3 years now.
My Python version is available through either of the links below and has been maintained through the version MM updates. The main reason I mention it is that the README.SENDMAIL.mailer documentation file in the patch may help you as it contains some notes on the sendmail side of the installation as I experienced it. That said, having gotten it to work it has been trouble free, has saved a bunch of hassle in maintaining aliases, but I can barely remember the detail of what I had to do at the start.

Sorry I cannot be of more help but after years of not understanding sendmail, I still do not understand it well; in fact the only guy I know who is a sendmail expert is arguably certifiable.
I followed the instructions to a T, but sendmail still refuses to send any mail to mm-handler, it simply errors out.
I wasn't sure if you all had a better place to send me for more documentation?
Thanks, Marcus
