Todd, Chris and others:
Thanks for the suggestions regarding fixing the problem that I was having with list
messages never going out to the members. As it turns out the permission were OK.
The problem was that my sendmail program was not running as a member of the daemon
group. I had set up majordomo to run as user majordomo and group daemon as is
described in the INSTALL file. I had to edit /etc/group and add the 'mail' user to
the 'daemon' group. I don't really think that either the INSTALL file or the FAQ
says to make the mailer run as a member of daemon - maybe it should by default
already be set up that way. Or maybe this just works by chance and it is not really
the proper way for it to be set up. Anyone know??
Anyway, things seem to be working OK now.
Thanks,
Doug Harper
