If you look at the xf file for the stalled email message, you will see:
something like:
shlock: open(">/usr/local/lib/majordomo/shlock.15260"):
Permission denied at /usr/local/lib/majordomo/shlock.pl line 131,
<_GEN_1> line 7.
This is answered in the FAQ reproduced below. Granted we need a better
subject line, or symptoms description to allow people to find this
tidbit of info.

Subject: I get "Permission denied at ..." when majordomo runs

The directory "/usr/local/lib/majordomo" needs to be writable by the
uid/gid that the "wrapper" program run as, so that Majordomo can
create its lock file.
In general, for any file Majordomo writes, both the file _AND_ the
directory the file is in must be writable by Majordomo, so that it can
create lock files and new versions of the data file (Majordomo usually
"updates" a file by creating "file.new" and then, when that has
succeeded, deleting "file" and renaming "file.new" to "file").
# Also, should everything
# in my majordomo directory by owned by majordom and the group set to
# majordom?
Basically, yes, and it should all (including the directory itself) be
writable by whatever uid/gid wrapper is set to run as.
