Hello:

I sent this message out earlier and didn't receive a reply, so I'm sending it
again.  I am running majordomo 1.93 on an SGI workstation running IRIX 5.3.  I
am running Perl version 4.036.

I have majordomo set up and running but I have one problem.  When I send mail
to my listname (admins), it gets sent to everyone in the list.  However, when
someone replies to the message, the reply gets sent to the send of the mail and
not to everyone in the list which is how I would like it to work.  Is this even
possible with majordomo?

I am including a copy of my /etc/aliases file, but perhaps the problem may be
one of the parameters in the majordomo.cf file.  I will also include it.  Any
help that anyone can provide would very much be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Karen Brown Foster
