+smrsh notes
+-----------
+(if you use sendmail, you are surely using srmsh) you must note that 
+sendmail won't run any program outside of EBINDIR. I tried to change 
+EBINDIR using,define(`confEBINDIR', `/usr/local/mailman/mail')dnl in 
+sendmail.mc but it didn't work, so mailman must be placed in EBINDIR, 
+which in Gentoo is /usr/adm/sm.bin, so you must run as root:
+
+     ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman /usr/adm/sm.bin/mailman
+
+And the lines in /etc/mail/aliases which refer to 
+/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman must be changed to mailman:
+
+     <list-name>:              "|mailman post <list-name>"
+     <list-name>-admin:        "|mailman admin <list-name>"
+     <list-name>-bounces:      "|mailman bounces <list-name>"
+     <list-name>-confirm:      "|mailman confirm <list-name>"
+     <list-name>-join:         "|mailman join <list-name>"
+     <list-name>-leave:        "|mailman leave <list-name>"
+     <list-name>-owner:        "|mailman owner <list-name>"
+     <list-name>-request:      "|mailman request <list-name>"
+     <list-name>-subscribe:    "|mailman subscribe <list-name>"
+     <list-name>-unsubscribe:  "|mailman unsubscribe <list-name>"
