if i include the "echo $?", it complains "Newline in variable name."

if i leave that out, the mail gets delivered fine, the headers are 
rewritten correctly, and i'm ecstatic.  when i try to run real mail through
the list alias, it crashes with "unknown mailer error 1", again, and
i almost put my fist through the screen.

the precise alias is:

psi: "|/applic/ath/majordomo/wrapper resend -l psi -h callisto.pas.rochester.edu psi-outgoing"

everything in /applic/ath/majordomo is owned by daemon.majordom, and is 
readable, writeable, and where appropriate executable by owner and group.
it can't be perl, because then it wouldn't work from the command line.

what the !@#$ is going on here?  please, anyone?
