I just *tried* to install majordomo on Linux.
I have Perl 5.001m and the FAQ and README do not make it clear whether
this will work.  In any case, I found no @ character within strings in
the perl scripts which I should quote with a slash.

After setting up everthing, I get the following errors when sending mail 
to it:

 ~/src/system/majordomo/majordomo-1.93> mail majordomo
 Subject:
 help
 EOT
 "/usr/local/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"... 
   Can't create output: Permission denied
                                      
If I run that interactively, I get:

 /usr/local/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo
 help
 ^D
 Majordomo:  is not a valid return address.  

Any clue what I did wrong?  (Permissions?  wrong name or path somewhere?)

(BTW, the installation is *not* trivial by any measure.  I would think it's
easy to get it wrong.  But it's worth to effort to get it going...)
