Daniel,
Thanks for all your help. There is a file I found in the MajorCool
Distribution called cpset. Here is an exerpt from the file:
USAGE="usage: Cpset [-o] from-file to-file mode owner group"
Seems that there is a specific relationship between MajorCool and Majordomo
that needs to be set during the install and majordomo should be working
first properly. As I'm learning more about Majordomo though, I think I'll
forgo the web interface. MajorCool has weak authentication.
I guess I'll be setting up archiving and digesting next. Wish me luck
Thanks for all your help.
Michael

775 on /majordomo is still going to cause complaints from sendmail unless
one of the "dontblamesendmail" options is enabled.
UID 1000 GID 33 does not really say anything, unless that is your sendmail
or majordomo ID.
I know VERY LITTLE about majorcool. Mostly, only what I have picked up
from reading the majordomo-users list. I don't use it or any other form
of http access to my servers. Having set it up several years ago, I recall
it being a bit unintuitive and still required additional scripts to be
written before it was fully functional. Plus all the ownership/permission
problems to solve between apache, majordomo, and sendmail was a bad enough
headache on a server that I have full root control of. Trying to do all
that in a hosted environment is even worse.
The answer I provided with the chmod command will solve the sendmail error
messages related to majordomo. If you want/need majorcool, someone else
will need to provide the assistance. I just do not have the knowledge.
