Majordomo 1.94.5 requires a fully qualified email address in return addresses.
If you use the command line to echo commands via email to majordomo, and you
are using a default/unmodified sendmail.cf, only the part in front of the @
sign is used for a return address.
You can fix this by modifying several lines in your sendmail.cf, or accomplish
the same thing by changing/adding one line to sendmail.mc and rebuilding the
sendmail.cf with m4, or you can modify one line (605) in majordomo.pl.
If you choose to rebuild your sendmail.cf via the sendmail.mc file, add;
FEATURE(always_add_domain)dnl
If you choose to edit sendmail.cf directly, UNcomment these lines;
in ruleset 10 (S10),
#R$+ $: $>50 $1 add local domain if needed
in ruleset 30 (S30),
#R$+ $: $>50 $1 add local domain if needed
in ruleset 40 (S40),
#R$+ $: $>50 $1 add local domain if needed
and in ruleset 50 (S50),
#R$+ $@ $1 < @ *LOCAL* > add local qualification
If you choose to modify majordomo.pl line 605, change it from;
if (!(/\@/ && /\./)) { # 1.94.5
to the way it was in 1.94.4
if (/\@/ && !/\./) { # 1.94.4
