If you do not care about mail that is queued up, be
careful not to delete files in the wrong directory.
The "waiting to be delivered" messages will have
filenames of dfAAA12345 qfAAA12345. These are a
data file and queue (control) file for each message.
They usually live in /var/spool/mqueue, not
/var/spool/mail.
Majordomo does not add or change message IDs, the MTA
handles that. If you are getting a loop with identical
IDs, your aliases might be at fault. This is not my
strong area, so maybe some digging around on the sendmail
site, or one of the other majordomo-users can provide
accurate info.
Note too, that the nobody you added to the alias should
have been comma nobody (,nobody) and it should be inside
the quoted portion of the pipe to wrapper.
