Thanks, Dan, it sounds to me as if inserting ,nobody before the final quote
mark in that aliases line will probably solve the problem. I have a question
about how to implement that, though. The extract below from the majordomo
FAQ suggests that I would need to add an additional line in the aliases file
for nobody. Is that really necessary? If so, would it just look like this?
nobody: /dev/null
Here's what it says in the FAQ. (I'm not sure I understand the final
sentence, but perhaps it's not relevant to my circumstance."
"Unfortunately, Sendmail 8.x will log your -outgoing alias in the
"Received:" lines. To prevent this you need to specify more than one address
for the list name argument to resend. (for example
"mylist:|"/usr/local/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -h foo.org -l mylist
mylist-seekrit,nobody"" where nobody is an alias for /dev/null) For Sendmail
8.x you must not define an alias 'owner-mylist-seekrit' to be something like
'owner-mylist,' (with the comma). "
