There is a sendmail link in /usr/lib/sendmail though, so it would be
fine if that's the path that mailman used.

I did a locate, but now I just did a specific ls -l.. wow - talk about softlink hell. What has FC come to? (sigh)

But it's irrelevant anyway, since that setting only applies if you set
the DELIVERY_MODULE to Sendmail.  And if you check the comments in
Defaults.py about that, you'll see that you are warned against this:

Which I don't.

# WARNING: Sendmail has security holes and should be avoided.  In
# fact, you must read the Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py file before it
# will work for you.
#
#DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail'
DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'

Yea, I saw that...

and to the notes earlier about sendmail integration, there's an .MC file to handle list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx which reroutes all those though the mailer in sendmail rather than through aliases... I'm not needing the former, so I'm using the latter. I run like < 10 lists, so aliases are fine with me.
