Looks like I have been able to get around the eval problem that I
was having on my Linux box.

When a user now send a "subscribe <list>" command to majordomo
on my box, which is, majordomo@vulcan.gep.ge.com
several amazing things happen.

Firstly the user gets a reply from
majordomo@foo.greatcircle.com
          ---------------
and not my box.

It also does not find the list. I have attached a copy of my majordomo.cf
and the message that the user gets.

I have been really working hard to get this going and would appreciatte
any help. TIA.

Regards,
Vikram Mittal.


----------------------- my majordomo.cf file

$whereami = "vulcan.gep.ge.com";
$whoami = "Majordomo@$whereami";

$homedir="/usr/lib/majordomo";
$listdir = "/var/spool/majordomo/lists";
$digest_work_dir = '/var/spool/majordomo/digest';
$log = "$homedir/Log";
$mailer = "/usr/lib/sendmail -f$sender";
$filedir = "/var/spool/majordomo/archive";
$filedir_suffix = "";
$index_command = "/bin/ls -lRL";
$return_subject = 1;
$majordomo_request = 0;
umask(007);
@archive_dirs=();
