Looks like you're running sendmail with smrsh (secure mail shell). To get it
to work with mailman, you'll need to make a link in wherever smrsh things
should be linked on your OS. eg On Solaris, it's /var/adm/sm.bin. If this
directory doesn't exist, create it then populate it with anything that smrsh
will need to run eg procmail, vacation, wrapper. It may look something like
this:

% ls -l /var/adm/sm.bin

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         23 Aug  9  2001 procmail -> 
/usr/local/bin/procmail*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         25 Jun 28 10:38 wrapper -> 
/home/mailman/mail/wrapper
