Richard,
Well, either I have a typo in my "cookbook", or you just missed some "|"
symbols in your aliases. Every reference to /pathto/majordomo/wrapper
should have a | in front of it. "|/pathto/majordomo/wrapper ..."
The following aliases are all missing this pipe symbol;
test:
test-request:
test-archiver:
test-digestify:
Only the test-digest-request: alias is piping correctly.
Secondly, the test-list: and test-digest-list: aliases are not called
from any of the other aliases, and are not needed.
Are you hosting these lists, or are these lists hosted for you?
It makes a big difference in how your aliases are configured too.
Hopefully, your nobody: alias points to /dev/null.
