I'm suddenly having a problem with permissions with my mailing lists. I received the following "Returned mail" when trying to submit a post:

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
:include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/wordstar
    (expanded from: wordstar-list)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
451 4.0.0 hash map "Alias1": unsafe map file /usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.aliases.db: Permission denied
550 5.2.4 :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/wordstar... Cannot open /usr/local/majordomo/lists/wordstar: Permission denied

I checked the files and they seemed fine. The permissions for majordomo.aliases.db and majordomo.aliases are the same: 644. The majordomo directory has a permission of 755.

I ran newaliases and received the following message.

Warning: .cf file is out of date: sendmail 8.12.9 supports version 10, .cf file is version 9
/etc/mail/aliases: 7 aliases, longest 122 bytes, 592 bytes total
hash map "Alias1": unsafe map file /usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.aliases.db: Permission denied
WARNING: cannot open alias database /usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.aliases
Cannot create database for alias file /usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.aliases

Is the .cf file it's referrring to majordomo.cf or sendmail.cf? What is hash map "Alias 1"? What do you suggest I do?

Thanks for your help.
