 ^^^^^^^^^^

You have an aliasing-forwarding error, it should be:

majordomo: "|/disk2/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
majordomo-owner: jason
owner-majordomo: jason

Besides, did you compile wrapper with the right euid and egid? As Irix is
POSIX, you should create a majordom user and group, and install wrapper as
root AND suid (mode 4755), such instructions are in the Makefile. An
"unkown mailer error 357 is caused by bad ownership permissions in the
majordomo durectories and files combined with a wrong configuration of
wrapper. Trust me.
