Subject: A simple alias problem (I think)

I have majordomo installed and working as expected from the command line via
echo commands, however emailing ANY command to majordomo or my test list
simply drops that email in my mailbox.

When my sendmail was set up, I instructed my contractor to drop all email
that didn't go to a valid mailbox into my account. I think that may be why
the emails are ending up in my mailbox.

Still, majordomo should be catching these commands and doing something. So I
think the problem lies with my aliases file. I haven't found any decent
documentation on how the aliases file should be set up and my guesses
certainly aren't working. I'm wondering if someone can post alias entries
for a simple mailing list that allows anyone to subscribe, but only the list
owner to post. (Company mailing list to the public.)

I have no idea what the alias entries below do (or are supposed to do).
Here's my /etc/mail/aliases file for my test list:

/etc/mail/aliases:
#My test list (cat-lovers)

cat-lovers:     "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l cat-lovers
cat-lovers-list  -h awesome
drinks.com"
cat-lovers-list:  :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/cat-lovers
cat-lovers-owner: anthonyz
owner-cat-lovers: anthonyz
cat-lovers-approval: anthonyz
cat-lovers-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l cat-lovers"

I've been trying to get majordomo to work for over 3 weeks, so believe me,
any help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks,

Anthony
