Depending on what you have specified in your majordomo.cf, this should
be a *file*, not a directory. And the directory the log file resides
must be writable by Mj so it can create lock files to log messages.

That's because wrapper is *not* installed properly. You must be root
when you run 'make install'.

This should be 's' to indicate setuid so that wrapper can do its job,
i.e. change the uid/gid to the majordom user/group. You can fix this by
becoming root and doing:
chmod 4755 wrapper
> mylist: :include:/usr/local/mail/lists/mylist
Note that this alias doesn't invoke resend, so you won't get any of
resend's features.
