Exit error code 6, I don't think so, neither the wrapper nor resend
use this exit code. 5 comes from failure to properly exec the resend
program. Try running resend from the command line with:
/path/to/wrapper resend -l psi
You should get an error message saying that -h is required. If you
don't check to make sure that the resend program is in the same
directory that you told wrapper to look in.
Error code 1 is generated when wrapper is called by itself with no
arguments. This can happen in alias files if there aren't quotes in
the propper place, or \ doesn't continue a line etc. The exact format
for long command lines seems to change from sendmail to sendmail. Your
milage may vary.

Possibly the path where resend actually is as mentioned above. Also
don't forget to check the access to all elements of the path. The
uid/gid for wrapper has to have access to perl. If one of the
direcories in perl's path is 700 or something you would get error 5.

What version of majordomo are you using. If 1.90, the only flags
should be -l and -h. If 1.62 that looks right.
For additional debugging, enable the -d flag, and use /usr/ucb/mail -v
(or mailx -v) and look at the output from sendmail.
