Hi Dave Wolfe and others:

Set-up problems with 1.93 on BSD Unix with confused newbie reporting 
back! My lists are not hitting resend it seems.

Did it.

Don't see any mention of a &TMPDIR in the majordomo.cf however.

====================

Nonetheless, here are dedug messages that I did discover being sent to 
the list-owner: snip

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l better-swim-list 
better-swim-list-outgoing"
    (expanded from: <better-swim-list@sportsurf.net>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
resend: must specify both '-l list' and '-h host' arguments at 
/usr/local/majordomo/resend line 69.
554 "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l better-swim-list 
better-swim-list-outgoing"... unknown mailer error 255

   ----- Original message follows -----
snip of that message.

===================

Looking at line 69 of resend shows this: sniped line 68, 69, 70, 71, 72 
----- snip 

if (! defined($opt_l) || ! defined($opt_h)) {
    die("resend: must specify both '-l list' and '-h host' arguments");
}

# smash case for the list name

---- end snip from the resend file.
Hunch -- since this code segement looks to be snooping RE: # Read and 
execute the .cf file
I better look closer at the .cf file for -h or HOST. But, not a word 
"host" anywhere in the majordomo.cf file.

Unresolved questions for a cut-and-paste newbie include: ownership.

Majordomo is running with a virtual server where I have root access for 
control of email, alias set-up. However, I can't add "GROUPS" under unix. 
On my virtual server my root account is part of the group "VUSER" -- and 
VUSER owns all the Majordomo files and folders at this point. There isn't 
any "majordom" group or user. There isn't any way for me to make one 
without getting the ISP involved. My questions even threw them for a loop 
as to how I might be able to set-up new groups.

This leads to the whole wrapper thing that is still beyond me to be sure?

Thanks for the help! Other questions in another posts.
