Hi all,
I figured this one out. Since the sendmail server is a different machine
than the majordomo server, I added <list>-outgoing to the NIS aliases file
pointing to the majordomo server and it worked. I guess I'll have to do
that with all the majordomo aliases I'll be using with each list.
Anyone have a cleaner way to do this?
Best,
Caroline
