I am getting really frustrated trying to configure a new list.  I suspect
the problem is in either in sendmail or in the aliases file, but I cannot
find the source of the problem and I am not a real hacker (just a school
teacher trying to run a science education discussion group).

Here is what I am using:
    RedHat 6.0 (but I am not using the rpm module, I installed it from
                the tar file)
    sendmail version 8.something
    perl version 5.005_03
    majordomo-1.94.4

Majorodomo works fine;  I can subscribe to a list and get the info back.
But I cannot send messages to the list.  Depending on how I set the
permissions, I either get a "service not available" or
"aliasing/forwarding loop broken" message.  I added the aliases to the
smrsh directory;  I changed permissions to 777 on everything to see it
that would work;  I made sure there were names in the list.  I am out of
FAQ options.  Can anyone help?


Thanks in advance.
