I already use bulk-mailer with great sucess. What I need..it to run it via a wrapper to solve an issue with large lists and a bug in Sendmail that is not fixed.

Sendmail security requires a link in your smrsh directory to any/all executables
called by the RHS of aliases. If you are running RedHat, make sure /etc/smrsh/
contains a link to /usr/sbin/bulk_mailer. Then again, that also assumes majordomo
was installed from the rpm file, and that you are running an smrsh dependent
version of sendmail.
I keep this right in my aliases file for quick reference.

# Use of bulk_mailer with sendmail:
# To have bulk_mailer distribute mail to a list, add the following lines
#
# owner-{FOO}: whoever-maintains-foo
# {FOO}-outgoing: "|{BULK_MAILER} owner-{FOO}@{YOUR.DOMAIN} {ADDRESS_LIST}"
#
# where {FOO} is the name of the list, {YOUR.DOMAIN} is your
# fully-qualified domain, {BULK_MAILER} is a full path name of the
# bulk_mailer program, and {ADDRESS_LIST} is a full path name of the
# file containing the list of addresses.
#
# test-outgoing: "|/usr/sbin/bulk_mailer owner-test@DOMAIN.TLD /var/lib/majordomo/lists/test"

Of course, additional arguments such as maxdomains are fine, this is just
a bare minimum to make it work.
