Freebsd7, mail/mailman, www/apache22, and sendmail

[Philip M. Gollucci]

Issue:

The www/apache22 integration seems to be fine; however, the sendmail 
integration isn't quite right.

client computer:
$ echo `uname -a` | mail -s "`date`" mailman at lists.domain.tld

Mail Server:
/var/log/maillog
m25JwCEk065018: m25JwCEl065018: DSN: unknown mailer error 255

m25JwCEl065018: to=<mailman-bounces at lists.domain.tld>, delay=00:00:00 \
	xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=mailman, pri=32149, 		      \
	relay=lists.p6m7g8.net, dsn=5.3.0, stat=unknown mailer error 255
