That is probably one of the reasons 4.0 was not widely distributed I suppose. The announcement was that you really have to be a beta tester to be willing to run the 4.0 version right now.

This might be a clue. First, you must be in the homedir for wrapper to work, or the instructions would not tell you to cd to it before running ./wrapper config-test. Second, sendmail will bark at you if any directory it uses is group or world writable.
Did you run the config-test as root, majordom, and/or "some other user"? Root can usally run anything, majordomo should be able to run it's own scripts successfully, but the big test is as a non-majordomo user.

What is the owner and group of /usr/local/majordomo/Log? Is it 664? Are /, /usr, /usr/local, and /usr/local/majordomo all 755?

This sounds like a wrapper problem. What was the uid.gid on the old system?

Did you `make wrapper`, `make install`, `make install-wrapper` as the root user? Does "Makefile" know where perl really lives? Does majordomo have /usr/libdata, and /usr/local/lib in it's path?

Since you moved rather than creating majordomo, are all the directories, ownerships, and permissions the same across both machines?
I hope these questions (or your answers to them) help you find the problem.
Good luck,
