Hi folks,
I'm trying to configure a server with Sendmail and Mailman. I've been getting "Broken pipe" errors for a while, and have slowly been debugging. I fixed some permission issues, and changed the user that Mailman expects to be called
from, among other things. Finally, I'd gone through everything I could think of, so I added a new test to see if it's the Mailman script or Sendmail that's causing the problem. Here's the error I'm getting now (stripped of timestamps and identifying information):

The alias in /etc/aliases is:
cmtest: "|/bin/echo foo"
As you can see, even when trying to pipe to /bin/echo I still get the same error. But I can't for the life of me figure out what else to check. Normal aliases work fine. Any ideas?
Thanks!
