  First of all:

 There is a bug in the Perl distribution of RedHat 5.2, which makes
Majordomo and some CGI scripts buggy. Just take a look at Red Hat support:
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/rh52-errata-general.html

There is a rpm patch at
ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/i386/perl-5.004m7-1.i386.rpm 

Update your system with

     rpm -Uvh perl-5.004m7-1.i386.rpm

This is documented in the latest FAQ, which is _not_ the version in the
majordomo 1.94.4 distribution, but is much more frequently updated at

http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/~barr/majordomo-faq.html

I'm not sure if RH5.2 includes a sendmail 8.9.x or not.  Some people have
reported that with Sendmail 8.9.x, they have to REMOVE group write
permissions from their majordomo directories, or sendmail complains
bitterly.

Here's the aliases for my test list, configured like the others:

test: "|/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.4/wrapper resend -l test test-list,nobody"
test-list:  :include:/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/lists/test
owner-test:   rtg
test-owner:   rtg
test-request: "|/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/wrapper majordomo -l test"  
test-approval: rtg 

Good luck!

Microsoft has just announced it is renaming Windows NT version 5 to
"Windows 2000."
Is that the ultimate millennium bug or what?
