This is simply one of the first of a few errors you will run into while installing on Red Hat (using the rpms).
You need to add a link in your /etc/smrsh directory to your mailman wrapper program. Something like: cd /etc/smrsh ln -s ~mailman/mail/wrapper wrapper This tells smrsh that Mailman's wrapper program is okay-dokie to run via a Sendmail alias. Next problem you will run into is that your Sendmail does not listen for a local connection. If you install from source, there are some really nice files that tell you all about smrsh and about the overly paranoid Sendmail problem - and how to get around them. There are a couple of ways around the Sendmail problem, the easiest is to comment out the line in your /etc/sendmail.cf file that restricts the interfaces used by Sendmail. If that line is commented out then Sendmail will default to listening on all local interfaces, and isn't that a happy thing to do!?! # SMTP client options #O ClientPortOptions=Address= ......
