Paul,

Using the RPM, the /var/lib/majordomo directory is the place to
find your lists, archives, and digests, directories.

If you make use of the (also installed) bulk_mailer, remember
to create a link for it in /etc/smrsh.

Docs are located in /usr/doc/majordomo-1.94.5

Heads up on the RPM install, you need to edit the /etc/majordomo.cf
file to put your actual domain name in the $whereami variable, or 
add a line immediately following $whereami;
chomp $whereami

Also, using that RPM, I add 
$datadir = "/var/lib/majordomo";
near the top of the file so I can reference $listdir, $log,
$filedir, and $filedir_suffix by using the $datadir variable.

In short, the $listdir is set in /etc/majordomo.cf.  The RPM
points $listdir to /var/lib/majordomo.
