From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90) Description of problem: I have upgraded my machine ("server") from 7.1. I am running Mailman as a list server for one mailling list. I did this prior to upgrading our office where I have multiple lists running on 7.1. When you use the mailman product (available at http://www.list.org), you have to create entries in your alias file, which are just pipes to the mailman program. When you send mail to the 'account', it gives an error : Nov 13 21:07:02 ns smrsh: uid 8: attempt to use wrapper.post.nbr-list I have gone to the trouble of creating another pipe, and that one is to cat with 3 arguements. It happens on this as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a piped alias (ex: test: "|/bin/cat arg1 arg2 arg3") 2. run newaliases 3. send mail to new piped alias 4. look in log file for a line like this: Nov 13 23:11:31 ns smrsh: uid 8: attempt to use cat.arg1.arg2.arg3 Actual Results: If I do exactly what is above then I get the error that is list there, if I create a new symlink in the /etc/smrsh directory (for the mail list) to be wrapper.mailowner.nbr-list that points to the /home/mailman/mail/wrapper, then I get this in the logs: Nov 13 19:34:21 ns Mailman mail-wrapper: Usage: /etc/smrsh/wrapper.mailowner.nbr-list program [args...] Expected Results: I expected once I had setup the aliases, and put the symlink in /etc/smrsh then I would have a functional mail list. Additional info: Sendmail rpm version : sendmail-8.11.6-3 from /etc/aliases: nbr-list: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post nbr-list" nbr-list-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner nbr-list" nbr-list-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd nbr-list" nbr-list-owner: nbr-list-admin test-list: "|/bin/cat arg1 arg2 arg3" from /var/log/maillog: Nov 13 23:11:31 ns sendmail[11315]: fAE5BUB11315: from=root, size=44, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200111140511.fAE5BUB11315.org>, relay=root@localhost Nov 13 23:11:31 ns smrsh: uid 8: attempt to use cat.arg1.arg2.arg3 Nov 13 23:11:31 ns sendmail[11321]: fAE5BUB11315: to="|/bin/cat arg1 arg2 arg3", ctladdr=test-list (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=30044, dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable Nov 13 23:11:31 ns sendmail[11321]: fAE5BUB11315: fAE5BVA11321: DSN: Service unavailable
wrapper symlink should look like: wrapper -> /var/mailman/mail/wrapper
This is not a problem with sendmail, it turns out that it is a problem with Openmail, I have been able to recreate this problem with a new box that I am setting up.
Ok, closing this bug. Thanks, Florian La Roche
