I have done a pretty vanilla install of majordomo 1.94.5 on
aix 4.3.3
Mail to majordomo and mail to list-request work fine
but..........
Sendmail on aix gets heartburn if it finds group writable
directories.
When I added the necessary aliases in /etc/aliases sendmail
started,
croaking because lists is group writable.:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors
-----
<test@ahfconline.com>
:include:/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/test
(expanded from: <test@ahfconline.com>)
--- The transcript of the session follows ---
550 :include:/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/test...
Cannot open
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/test: Group writable
directory

554 <test@ahfconline.com>... aliasing/forwarding loop broken
If I change lists so that it is not group writable, then I
get an error that
the file can't be accessed.

the files passed the config-test test and are set as:

If I run an :include: from a users directory there is no
problem, but when I copy the perms in use there to the lists
dircetories it still croaks.
I understand I can hobble sendmail, but shouldn't there be a
more secure solution?
