This error message is from sendmail. Sendmail 8.6 and higher do not like
world writable directories. It is a security hole that can be exploited.
What the error does not tell you though, is what directory in the tree is
world writable. Looking at your next section, I see at least one world
writable directory of /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists. Be safe and turn
off this bit in the entire tree. `chmod o-w / /usr /usr/local`
and `chmod -R o-w /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5`.

Make sure the "carolinas-approval: owner-carolinas" line is in /etc/aliases,
or set "moderator = someone@your.com" in the lists/carolinas.config file.
