If I may impose briefly on your good will, I have 
what is probably a stupid newbie problem with

        majordomo 1.94a3

        SunOS 4.1.3_U1, sparc5

        perl5

        using cc

Please reply to me directly de@ucolick.org
as I really can't deal with one more mailing list
pouring into my inbox :-(

------------------------------------------------

The problem is that the installation succeeds
and passes its validation test (config-test),
yet it does not pass the "list test" in which
one is instructed to

        echo "list" | mail majordomo

The failure mode is that the message is sent to
user majordomo, but no message is ever sent in
response, and no output is generated in the Log
file.  (syslog verifies the original message to
user "majordomo", but there is no reply.)
Even if I make the Log file world-writable,
I cannot collect any error output.  the failure
is quite silent.

How can I start to debug this behaviour?  Can
you give a puzzled newbie a clue?

PS here are my aliases

majordomo: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: de@helios
majordomo-owner: de@helios
majordomo:majordomo@helios

and I did not alter the sendmail command in the cf file:

$mailer = "/usr/lib/sendmail -f\$sender -t";

because the flags seemed compatible with sunos sendmail.
