Thanks for the help. I ran the command as you suggested and the results were:

resend: must also specify '-a passwd' if using '-A' flag at /usr/local/majordomo/resend line 200.

I added the -a <passwd> to the aliases file and it went through fine. It bounced when I didn't have the approved: and went through
when I did. So it seems to be working again. I'm only puzzled as to why all of a sudden it wants the -a flag in the aliases file
when it worked for months without it.
Does adding the -a flag sound like a good choice? I mean, is there any security issues with having the list password in the aliases
file?
Thanks again,
Jim
