majordomo version 1.94.4
sendmail 8.8.7
linux 2.0.36/RedHat 5.2
perl  5.005_02

I have installed majordomo and it appears to work, but only locally.  For
example, if I send an email from the command line or using elm, I get the
expected response (lists works, info on a test list I set up works, etc.)
However, if I send an email from outside, it does not work:

I am trying to use a separate majordomo.aliases file and it does not appear
that this alias database is being consulted for incoming email...i.e. none
of the aliases works unless I send email while telneted in to the server.
If I send an email from my desktop email (Outlook) it fails, as does email
sent from other servers.

But if I run elm or a command line, everything works fine.

yes, I've run newaliases...
yes, I touched a db file so that the majordomo.aliases would have somewhere
to go...
[root@waimea majordomo-1.94.4]# newaliases
/etc/aliases: 21 aliases, longest 16 bytes, 231 bytes total
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4/majordomo.aliases: 13 aliases, longest 77 bytes,
501 bytes total
[root@waimea majordomo-1.94.4]#

[root@waimea majordomo-1.94.4]# ls -l *.al*
-rw-rw-r--   1 majordom nobody        545 Apr 26 19:05 majordomo.aliases
-rw-r--r--   1 root     mail        16384 Apr 26 19:30 majordomo.aliases.db

[root@waimea majordomo-1.94.4]# ls -l /etc/ali*
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         1663 Apr 26 15:53 /etc/aliases
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        16384 Apr 26 19:30 /etc/aliases.db

Any ideas?
