Tim,
I have not seen anyone else reply to this, so I thought I would
take a stab at it. Sendmail will expand aliases unless there is
more than one recipient on the RHS (Right Hand Side). Typically
the listname-outgoing alias or the listname address will only have
one recipient. Try these aliases on for size;
listname: "|/pathto/wrapper resend -l listname listname-outgoing,nobody"
listname-outgoing: :include:/pathto/majordomo/lists/listname,nobody
Make sure sendmail "trusts" majordomo (Tmajordom in sendmail.cf) and
your listname.config file has "sender = owner-listname" and that
sender or reply_to are not set to owner-listname-outgoing. Considering
the virtual nature of your configuration, setting resend_host would be
a good idea too. If listname-approval can not get it, using the
moderator = owner-listname
(even if moderate = no) might help as well.
