Since I do not know what version of sendmail you are running, or what OS,
I will take the long route assuming 8.9.3 and linux, and say;
as the root user do these commands...
chmod go-w / /var /usr /usr/local /var/spool
chmod -R go-w /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5
chmod a-x /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases
chown majordomo:majordomo /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases
ln -s /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases /etc/mail
now do another `newaliases` command
If you still get an error, check your sendmail.cf for this line;
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases, /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
If you had to add or edit a line for the above, restart sendmail;
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q30m
Have you run `wrapper config-test` from the /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5
directory as root, majordomo, and some other user? What were those
results.
