Howdy.

I have been setting up Majordomo version 1.94.4.  I've never set up a mailing list before.

I followed all the instructions (I think!) in the README, INSTALL, and NEWLIST files, read the FAQ, checked my configuration files, and I still can't subscribe to my list.  If I send mail to the -request alias, I get back the welcome message, but my e-mail address is never added to list file.  I keep checking the Log file, but nothing is being written there, either.

So, what am I still doing wrong, pray tell?

My list is called "pei-announce".  Don't ask me why I picked a long and unwieldy name like that, I couldn't tell you what I was thinking.

My lists are supposed to be in a directory called "lists", and I have the following permissions on that directory and the Log file:

-rwxrwxrwx   1 majordom majordom         0 Sep 21 11:29 Log
drwxrwxrwx   2 majordom majordom    8192 Sep 21 17:04 lists

the permissions for the files in the lists directory are as follows (according to the instructions in the NEWLIST file):

-rw-rw-r--   1 root     majordom       0 Sep 21 16:55 pei-announce
-rw-rw----   1 daemon   majordom   16130 Sep 21 17:04 pei-announce.config  (This was actually generated by my "config" command)
-rw-rw-r--   1 root     majordom       0 Sep 21 16:56 pei-announce.info

I have tried to make the permissions on these files 777 to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't.

My aliases look like this  (I did not include the owner- aliases below, since I don't think they are the problem):

# Aliases for Majordomo mailing lists
majordomo:/export1/majordomo-1.94.4/wrapper majordomo
# list: pei-announce
pei-announce:"|/majordomo-1.94.4/wrapper resend -l pei-announce pei-announce-list"
pei-announce-list::include:/majordomo-1.94.4/lists/pei-announce
pei-announce-request:"|/majordomo-1.94.4/wrapper request-answer pei-announce"


I'm really stumped by this.  I hope somebody can steer me in the right direction.  I will greatly appreciate any advice.

Thank you.
