Brian,
We use BHCom (http://www.bluehill.com) for virtual servers and have access to our own aliases and sendmail.cf. (However, I've never touched sendmail.cf in order to work with Majordomo.) Their small servers are reasonable ($60/mo for 25MB, unlimited traffic), and they have a 1.94 installation kit already tested and tweaked for their environment.
If all you're looking for is Majordomo lists to own, we can give you those. See http://www.tikipub.com/tikilists.html.

Subject: Re: Question: Running Majordomo on Virtual Domain
My Question:

The Answer (Thanks, Dale):
--------------------------
>The only thing you can do is to get root to add the aliases or to add

My Next Question:
-----------------
The chances are slim to none that the sys admin for my Web hosting service
will even answer my e-mail, let alone risk security and mess with
/etc/aliases or sendmail.cf (my experience with prowebsite.com can be
summed up as incredibly low prices, incredibly poor service). Does anyone
know of any software I could get that would allow me to run a mailing list
without root access? I don't need any fancy features, but I would like
people to be able to subscribe, unsubscribe, and post without any
intervention on my part.
Thanks,
Brian H. Marston
