	I dont believe this is in the FAQ/Docs, so I thought I would
put it forward here.  I have just setup majordomo (not fully yet!)
on my debian linux destribution machine.  The main problem I had
was the :include: syntax of the alias file entries.  smail
simply did not understand these.  Hence a faq entry to go along
side the bit about changing the sendmail to smail in majordomo.cf:

By default, smail does not understand the :include: syntax.  If
you have this problem, it is easily solved.  Simply add the
following line to the end of your /etc/smail/directors file:

aliasinclude:
	driver=aliasinclude,
	nobody;
	copysecure,
	copyowners,

smail will now be able to expand :include:<file> entries to 
mailing lists.
