Two things...
First, section 2.12 of the FAQ touches on your exact error message.
I will assume you have subscribers populating the file and this does not
apply to you.
Second, since everything about majordomo works except posting a message,
your sendmail configuration may be at fault. This can be fixed by making
changes to majordomo so sendmail is happy, or changing sendmail so it is
not so strict on majordomo. I prefer to keep sendmail strict and change
my majordomo. Have you checked the sendmail FAQ for majordomo info?
>From your message, I can deduce that majordomo lives in
/usr/local/majordomo
This means that /, /usr, and /usr/local all need chmod go-w
You will most likely need to chmod -R go-w /usr/local/majordomo
I do not see anything wrong with using majordomo.aliases, but I use a
different strategy to keep sendmail happy. I have a ~majordomo/aliases,
but I create a link owned by root in /etc/mail called majordomo.aliases,
and change my sendmail.cf to look in /etc/mail for the file instead of
/usr/local/majordomo.
ln -s /usr/local/majordomo/aliases /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
and in sendmail.cf
# location of alias file
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases, /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
also in sendmail.cf, you need to trust your majordomo user
Tmajordom
or
Tmajordomo
depending on what you have in your password file for this user.
If you have no untrusted shell users on the box where you installed
majordomo, you do not need to worry about security as much either.
