Verify your majordomo installation is working by sending email to
your majordomo address with the word help in the body of the email.
If you get an autoreply with instructions on how to use majordomo
you know it is working. From there you can dump your file of
addresses into the majordomo/lists/ directory, and name it the
same as the name of your distribution alias. Assuming your have
your MTA and aliases already configured, you can start sending
mail to whatever name you chose immediately.
BTW, when dropping files of email addresses into the /lists/
directory, make sure they are owned by the majordomo user.
