I said I can't do it because I don't know how to do it. That's why I posted
here. I thought someone may have run into this before with MajorCool, or
might know a quick fix off the top of their heads.

if ( defined $ENV{"VIRTUAL"}) {
     $listdir = "$homedir/$ENV{'FQDN'}/lists";
} else {
     $listdir = "$homedir/lists";
}

That what you're looking for? Says FQND tells us which machine we're running
on, and FQND is defined in wrapper. $homedir is /usr/local/majordomo;
$ENV{'FQDN'} evidently resolves to www.whatever.com, and /lists is
self-explanatory. SO, majordomo is doing this correctly (obviously, as *it*
works).

I *read* in the MajorCool documentation or comment blocks somewhere that it
pulls the $listdir from majordomo.cf. Therefore it should use that same
block of code, or run it, or something... at least that's what I *thought*.
It *seemed* like a logical conclusion.

Great.

Okay... sigh. There's no chance in hell that Cobalt is going to bother with
MajorCool. There's littler chance that I could pay someone to modify Perl
for me. And since the only reason I don't know how to program perl already
is because I had no previous need and little time for it, I suppose that's
the only option left.

How did I confuse mail vs web behavior?
