Hello. I have recently installed majordomo-1.92 on my Linux system with
mixed results. Whenever you send the command request "help" to
majordomo, it returns the correct response. However, whenever you send a
different command such as "lists" or "info" things get screwed up.
Running sendmail in verbose mode yields the following:

The request is totally ignored. It is not written in the Log file
either. I have followed the directions for setting up a list. I created
an empty file called sample and another called sample.info which contains
a little blurb about my list.
The aliases file looks as follows:
#
# /usr/lib/aliases
#
# This is used by smail for sendmail compatibility.
# See also the /usr/lib/smail/lists directory for another way
# to make mail lists.
#
# Note: if your /usr/lib/smail/directors says that the aliases
# director uses proto=dbm, you must use mkaliases to make
# /usr/lib/aliases.pag and /usr/lib/aliases.dir, which are the
# actual files used by smail.
#
# If you use proto=lsearch, smail will read this file. (That's
# much slower but it's OK if this file is small.)

# $listdir -- Where are the mailing lists?
$listdir = "/home/majordom/lists";
# $digest_work_dir -- the parent directory for digest's queue area
# Each list must have a subdirectory under this directory in order for
# digest to work. E.G. The bblisa list would use:
# /usr/local/digest/bblisa
# as its directory.
#$digest_work_dir = '/home/majordom/digest';
# $log -- Where do I write my log?
$log = "/home/majordom/Log";
# $mailer -- What program and args do I use to send mail?
# The variable $to can be interpolated into this command line,
# however the $to variable is provided by the person sending mail,
# and much mischief can be had by playing with this variable.
# Use $to with care.
$mailer = "/usr/lib/sendmail -f\$sender -t";
# Majordomo will look for "get" and "index" files related to $list in
# directory "$filedir/$list$filedir_suffix", so set $filedir and
# $filedir_suffix appropriately. For instance, to look in
# /usr/local/mail/files/$list, use:
# $filedir = "/usr/local/mail/files";
# $filedir_suffix = ""; # empty string
# or to look in $listdir/$list.archive, use:
$filedir = "$listdir";
$filedir_suffix = "";
# $filedir = "/home/majordom/archive";
# $filedir_suffix = ".";
# What command should I use to process an "index" request?
$index_command = "/bin/ls -lRL";
# If you want to use FTPMAIL, rather than local access, for file transfer
# and access, define the following:
# $ftpmail_address = "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com";
# $ftpmail_location = "FTP.$whereami";
# if you want the subject of the request to be included as part of the
# subject of the reply (useful when automatically testing, or submitting
# multiple command sets), set $return_subject to 1.
$return_subject = 1;
# If you are using majordomo at the -request address, set the
# following variable to 1. This affects the welcome message that is
# sent to a new subscriber as well as the help text that is generated.
$majordomo_request = 0;
# Set the umask for the process. Used to set default file status for
# config file.
umask(007);
# the safe locations for archive directories
# None of the parameters that use safedirs are actually used, so
# @safedirs is a placeholder for future functionality.
# Just ignore it for version 1.90 through 1.92.

1;

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've spent more time than I
thought would be necessary trying to get majordomo configured and am
ready to give up. Thanx in advance.
