Ok... I just discoverd a major problem with my installation of majordomo. A problem
which is threatening to boot my list off the site.
In my .cf file the $mailer variable looked like this:
$mailer = "/usr/lib/sendmail -f\$sender \$to";
this made my envelpe from they-might-be-request@super.org which was the automatic mailer.
One weekend the site went down and bounced mail happend. Mail then was in a loop,
a MAILER-DAEMON mails to the request address and gets the automatic reply, which
then replies to that, etc... a loop, a deadly loop.
What I ended up doing was changing the -f\$sender \ to: -f\$whoami_owner \ so that
way all bounced messages will arrive at a huminoid (me.)
Was this the correct way to do this? I canNOT have any more bounced mails
be sent to the postmaster at my site or my list will be booted. I temporarily took
it off line so this wont happen and I dont want to put it back until I am absolutly
certain.
