Hello

I just joined the list and this is my first post.  Don't worry, I've scanned
the list archives so I won't repeat statements.  I'm running SCO Unix 3.2
with MMDF.

I resolved the hanging sendmail bug in a different way then I've
seen mentioned in the archives.  First, I'm using execmail (Is there a
problem with execmail I don't know about?) not sendmail.  I wrote a simple
shell script that strips the null strings:

#!/bin/sh
from=$1
to=$2
/usr/lib/mail/execmail -f$from $to

That's it.  I must admit I found the solution before I understood the problem.
This does require changing all references to sendmail in the perl scripts,
few of which seem to use $mailer in majordomo.cf, sigh.

But, I got the majordomo to work with digests and archiving!  As poor
Dan Torbet discovered, there seem to be few SCO mmdf subscribers.

I have not resolved the obnoxious header,

Source-Info: From (or Sender) name not authenticated.

I'm pretty sure it's related to the fact that the sender is a pipe.  I'm 
working on it.  Dan, have you made in progress on this?
