I found another fix related to the
"queue-pr not available for sendmail programs"-Problem:
The offending Program is smrsh: It is used in modern sendmail distributions
for secure executing of "| blah" aliases.
It seems, that queue-pr is not considered as secure (because of the
s-bit maybe) and smrsh refuses to execute it.
Fix: find the line "Mprog, ...." in /etc/sendmail.cf and replace
/usr/sbin/smrsh with /bin/sh. Be aware: this seems to be a security hazard.
I'll read on: Maybe, there is a way to convince smrsh, that queue-pr is secure.
