   I've just installed majordomo for the first time on a Linux 
system. Whenever it gets called, it goes into a loop and I have 
to kill it. (Then I need to take the message out of the queue, or 
it will start up again!)

   Just sending a subscribe to majordomo will start the loop. 

   Here's the relevant part of my aliases file: 

---
majordomo: "| /tools/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: admin@bearnet.com
majordomo-owner: admin@bearnet.com

test-l: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/mail/lists/test-l
test-l-request: "| /tools/majordomo/wrapper request-answer test-l"
owner-test-l: billw
owner-test-l-request: billw
---

   And here's what seems relevant from my majordomo.cf file . . . 

---
# $homedir -- Where can I find my extra .pl files, like majordomo.pl?
# the environment variable HOME is set by the wrapper
if ( defined $ENV{"HOME"}) {
     $homedir = $ENV{"HOME"};
} else {
     $homedir = "/tools/majordomo";
#     $homedir = "/usr/local/majordomo-1.92";
}

# $listdir -- Where are the mailing lists?
$listdir = "/usr/local/majordomo/mail/lists";

# $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";
