My version of sendmail (8.6 I think) doesn't appear to have the "features"
mentioned in the URL you suggested, so, since I didn't find anything in
sendmail.cf that referenced anything about safefiles, I didn't make any
changes.

I re-booted the machine.

No. Will do that next. I just went to /spare/usr/local/majordomo

OK. Will try it.
