I'm having a similar, perhaps the same, problem (timing is
everything).  Also Digital Unix (aka OSF/1) on an Alpha
AXP.  This is my first Majordomo installation and any
insights as well as pointers to information I may have
missed are greatly apreciated.

Answers to some of your questions for my system:

Yes, we use sendmail.  Version 5.65v3.2 according to 
sendmail -d.

_/var/adm/sendmail/aliases (without the comments on the top)__

# Alias for mailer daemon
MAILER-DAEMON:root
# Following alias is required by the new mail protocol, RFC 822
postmaster:root
# Aliases to handle mail to msgs and news
nobody: /dev/null
# Majordomo aliases
majordomo: "|/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: jps
majordomo-owner: jps

I used jps (my user ID) and jgs for testing.  jgs gets no
response and jps gets returned.

   real      group = daemon www mem system users (gid 1 24 3 0 15 )
------------------------------------------------------------

        Non obvious things that cause headaches:

------------------------------------------------------------
Good: 'require'd /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4/majordomo.cf okay.
Good: found ctime.pl okay.
Good: found majordomo_version.pl okay.
Good: found majordomo.pl okay.
Good: found shlock.pl okay.
Good: found config_parse.pl okay.

You're running Majordomo Version 1.94.4.

--==> Majordomo home directory is /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4.
------------------- Include directories -------------------
        /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4

Good: list directory /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4/lists has good permissions.
--------------------------- log ---------------------------
Good: logfile /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4/Log exists and is writeable.
------------------------- Mailers -------------------------
You have defined a mailer for delivery.
Attempting to verify that this is a valid mailer...looks okay.
You have defined a mailer for delivering administrative messages.
Attempting to verify that this is a valid mailer...looks okay.
------------------ Checking majordomo.cf ------------------
Checking to see if there are new variables that should be in
your majordomo.cf file...Nope, none that I see.

Have you configured where Majordomo is?
        $whereami is co.clark.nv.us
Good: yup!
----------------------- end of tests -----------------------


Nothing bad found!  Majordomo _should_ work correctly.

If it doesn't, check your configuration file 
        (/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4/majordomo.cf) 
closely, and if it still looks okay, consider asking the majordomo-users
mailing list at "majordomo-users@greatcircle.com" for assistance.  Be sure
and fully specify what your problems are, and what type of machine (and
operating system) you are using.

Enjoy!
