I sent this to "majordomo-workers" just to realize I should have sent it
to "majordomo-users" instead...

---

I recently installed majordomo 1.92 on a SGI Power Series 4D/380S, running
the IRIX 5.2 Operating System.

It seems to work fine for an unmoderated list (but we want it moderated).
For the moderated list, we can approve subscriptions and unsubscriptions.
But I can't seem to approve posts to the list.

Here is the aliases used (the list name is "cameo" and the owner is
"camelot"):

    # for CAMEO
    #
    owner-cameo: cameo-owner
    cameo: "|/usr2/people/majordo/bin/wrapper resend -l cameo 
        -h nrcphy1.phy.nrc.ca -A -a /usr2/people/majordo/lists/cameo.passwd 
        -I /usr2/people/majordo/lists/cameo.posters cameo-outgoing"
    cameo-owner: camelot
    cameo-approval: cameo-owner
    cameo-outgoing: :include:/usr2/people/majordo/lists/cameo
    cameo-archive: /usr2/people/majordo/lists/archive/cameo
    owner-cameo-archive: cameo-owner
    cameo-request: "|/usr2/people/majordo/bin/wrapper request-answer cameo"
    owner-cameo-request: cameo-owner

The lists directory within "majordo" has the following files:

    111 phy1,majordo> ls -l
    total 5
    drwxrwxr-x    3 majordo  majordo      512 Nov 16 11:25 archive
    -rw-rw-r--    1 majordo  majordo       25 Nov 21 15:04 cameo
    -rw-rw-r--    1 majordo  majordo        0 Nov 21 14:38 cameo.closed
    -rw-rw-r--    1 majordo  majordo       68 Nov 16 11:21 cameo.info
    -rw-rw----    1 majordo  majordo        7 Nov 16 11:20 cameo.passwd
    -rw-rw-r--    1 majordo  majordo        8 Nov 22 08:52 cameo.posters
    -rw-rw-r--    1 majordo  majordo        0 Nov 21 14:43 cameo.private
    112 phy1,majordo> 

The FAQ was very useful.  But moderated lists are not covered on it...

As I said earlier, subscription approvals work fine.  But approving mail or
files to be posted does not.  I do have file ".majordomo" in the $HOME.

    approve filename

brings back the prompt.  No error message.  No postings. I don't know exactly 
what commands are executed within PERL (I admit I am not a fluent PERL 
programmer).

Thank you for your help,

   Claude
