The problem is that whenever a listmember tries to post, the list owner
gets this message:

Subject: Returned mail: test-list... aliasing/forwarding loop broken

    To:  owner-test@zombywoof.usra.edu

from majordom@localhost

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
test-list
:include:/home/majordom/lists/test
    (expanded from: test-list)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 :include:/home/majordom/lists/test... Cannot open

./wrapper config-test reports no errors when run as an unpriv'd user.
Majordomo runs as Majordom GID 2 (daemon)
majordomo directory is /home/majordom
lists directory is /home/majordom/lists and is world writable as is the
test list file whose "permissions are denied."


The alias file entries look like this:

# Majordomo aliases
majordomo:      "|/home/majordom/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: cbeaudry
majordomo-owner: cbeaudry

test:           "|/home/majordom/wrapper resend -l test test-list"
test-list:       :include:/home/majordom/lists/test
owner-test:      cbeaudry
test-owner:      cbeaudry
test-approval:   cbeaudry
test-request:    "|/home/majordom/wrapper majordomo -l test"


This *has* to be something simple and it doesn't appear to be a
permissions issue since setting /home/majordom/lists/test to world
writable along with it's parent directory doesn't help.

Any clues would be appreciatied.
