For some reason you have the word "this" appearing as the first word
on a line. Majordomo is trying to interpret this as a command, and
of course it's not a valid one.
Ahh, I get it -- I bet you're sending a mixed plaintext + HTML text
email? Because those emails start with the line "This email is a
multipart MIME email message" or something like that, indicating
that if the user is seeing that their email program doesn't understand
about MIME.
Majordomo (version 1) doesn't know about MIME. It doesn't know about
HTML content either.
Make sure your emails to majordomo are sent in PLAINTEXT ONLY.
