What the heck is a From (not from: line) doing in here. This implies
that is was delivered to somebody's mailbox before it was bounced back
to you. I could see sendmail or any other rfc822 agent having a
problem with this line. It looks like the pup took a uucp hop, and it
has that wierd "remote from" crap.

By id, do you mean user id all at the same site, or by id do you mean
email address? If the former, I would say that something is
munging majordomo's reply message.
Try setting up the majordomo command to send a carbon copy of the
message to a local mail drop so you can see the message as it goes
out. The easiest way would be to change the To: line in &sendmail
defined in the file majordomo.pl to read:
To: majordomo-drop, $to
then set up the alias majordomo-drop to use the majordomo wrapper and
an archive program and away you go.
