Please do these comparisons to validate uid:gid are the same between
the old and the new systems. On each machine, run as root;
grep majordom /etc/passwd
majordom:*:54:1:Majordomo List Mgr:/var/majordomo:/usr/local/bin/bash
majordom:*:1007:1007:Majordomo Server:/home/majordom:/bin/false
majordomo:x:91:91:Majordomo List Manager:/usr/lib/majordomo:/bin/bash
As you can see, I have three machines running majordomo, but none of
them have the same uid or gid. For that matter, none of them even
have the same home directory. There is no way I could just copy these
instances between machines, I would have to recompile the wrapper for
each system, not to mention chown'ing files and directories.
Your majordomo address/alias is working, or you would not get replies
to the lists and who commands. Have you tried using sendmail to
verify your list or list-outgoing addresses?
sendmail -bv listname
sendmail -bv listname-outgoing
Try these commands as both the root and the majordomo user.
