This is probably a directory permission error. Make sure of the following.
1. You must have a user majordomo and a group majordom (GID 15 on our
system, possibly required). The former in the passwd file and the latter
in /etc/group.
2. Depending on your system, you must have either root or daemon as a member
of group majordom. It probably wouldn't hurt to put in both in
/etc/group.
3. Make sure that that /home and /home/majordomo are world executable and
that /home/majordomo and /home/majordomo/lists are owned by user majordom
and group majordom.
I came up against this shlock error a bunch in the process of setting up
symlinked directories for users' archives on our system, the result of which
is that I inadverdantly sent one user close to half a meg of repeating
shlock errors before discovering that I had created all the required
directories but not the symlink between them!
