Subject: Mail Setup

Forgive me if my question is a little ignorant... but how in the heck do I
setup the actual mailing portion majordomo?  I am really new to linux so am
a little stumped on the whole sendmail thing.  I have however been able to
get the majordomo tar's uncompressed and installed to my system and
followed the README and INSTALL files, but after that I am a little fuzzy
about what to do.  Apparently majordomo is already setup to use sendmail to
move mail back and forth to the list server, but how do I get sendmail
working properly?  I setup everything in the linuxconf correctly to the
best of my knowledge, and went about reading alot of extreamly poor
documentation on the internet related to setting up sendmail, but so far
have not been able to get anything working.  If anyone wouldn't mind
pointing me in the right direction for some good documentation or even
telling me what modifications I need to m ake would be greatly appreciated.

My mail server is currently a lotus notes box running on NT and I wanted to
be able to use this existing mail server as a gateway for all of the list
serv mail.  I already figured that I would need to setup any mail aliases
that my lists require in linux as well as creating an actual mailbox on the
notes server, but then how to I go about getting send mail to retrieve the
mail from the notes box?  (Sending seems to be working ok.... it's getting
mail to the listserver that's the problem)....

Thanks.
