Hello,

Finally got Majordomo working !!!!!  Many thanks to all those on the 
list who helped .....

Interestingly the final problem was a misconfigured .fetchmailrc file 
! I had spent all my time looking at file/dir permissions etc....

The .fetchmailrc that works is

set postmaster "geoff"
set no bouncemail

poll pop.freeserve.net with proto POP3
localdomains "mozart.freeserve.co.uk"
username "mozart.freeserve.co.uk" password "mypassword" to * 
here

My machine is maquerading as mozart.freeserve.co.uk as my ISP 
gives me an email address of geoff@mozart.freeserve.co.uk with a 
dynamic IP allocation ...

The important bit that meant that I could received email for  
mailinglistname aswell as for majordomo was the "*" rather than 
"majordomo" ...

I guess also important to have 775 for the directories and 644 for 
the files in the lists dir....

and a majordomo.aliases file in /etc and the following 3 lines to 
sendmail.cf

OA/etc/majordomo.aliases
O DontBlameSendmail=GroupWritableAliasFile
O DontBlameSendmail=IncludeFileInGroupWritableDirPath

Possibly the 1st of  the above 3 lines not required as I placed the 
majordomo.aliases file in /etc rather than in /home/majordomo ?

Also have the symlink for wrapper in /etc/smrsh

Any comments ?

Cheers

Geoff
