I moved the mailer script to majordomo's home directory, and now the pipe works.
Not sure why this started happening, as the pipe used to work to the script in
external directory, but oh well...
Thanks for the help.

Exim.

Well, it's the same exim.conf that has worked just fine previously. Not sure what you
mean by verify, though...?

Sorry, I wasn't clear; mailer.pl is a script I wrote, to which I want the input piped.

The same exim transport is responsible for piping to the majordomo wrapper script,
so I guess, yes, it will pipe to some scripts. It appears then to be a permissions
issue, though I've tried giving the script very free permissions and giving ownership
to majordomo, etc., with no luck.
