Dan,

Our setup differs slightly from your working setup, but not too much and really nothing
out of the ordinary. We are not using a seperate alias file for majordomo but as for the
rest it is about the same.

We compiled sendmail ourselves so we could use cyrus-sasl.

On redhat's site their fix to the smrsh error is the same as on this list, and that is to
simply create the link in /etc/smrsh.

There must be something out there about how to fix the error. From looking at the number
of reposts to this list alone about the smrsh problem that people are having certainly
someone has been able to find a fix.

I thank you for your time and your help, I will continue to pursue the problem and if I am
able to find anything that helps I will let you all know.

Thanks again,
Ray

Wrapper not available...  is an smrsh issue.  I am not sure about RH 6.1 any more, but in
6.2 with sendmail 8.9.3 and majordomo 1.94.5, this is what information I have (that
works);

Did you install sendmail 8.11.1 from an rpm package, or compile it yourself?
