I'm trying to set up majordomo 1.94.4 on a RedHat 5.2 system
running kernel version 2.1.129, sendmail 8.8.7 and perl 5.004.
I have followed the install instruction correctly, doubled
checked, but I can't get things to work.


wrapper config-test runs without a problem and says all is OK.

However,

	bash$ echo test | wrapper majordomo
	mj_majordomo: ABORT
	Majordomo@warp.stat.ubc.ca:  is not a valid return address.

Also, echo test | mail majordomo results in the following email sent
to owner-majordomo@warp.stat.ubc.ca

>>>    ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

>>>     (expanded from: majordomo)
>>> 
>>>    ----- Transcript of session follows -----
>>> 554 "|/home/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"... unknown mailer error 9

The problem may be that Majordomo@warp.stat.ubc.ca is not a valid
return address but changing $whoami to other addresses generates the
same error message.

I have seen quite a few postings on the mailing list regarding this
error message, including some possible dns problems, but nothing that
helps me.
