Hi,

and thanks very much for every help, if You have an idea:

I tried to install majordomo on a Linux 2.0.13 box.
After starting insuccesfull, reading the FAQ and documentation really 
helped ;)
But the system is behaving rather strange when I try to test (unleash?) 
majordomo.
Sending an "help" mail message to majordomo starts by eating up memory. 
More and more and more, until it's finished (swap too, of course). 
After that, things start to revert, and finally I get not _one_, but two 
mail messages: 
one with the expected answer from majordomo to the help request, another one
(surrounding the previous one) with something like "delivery impossible,
Out of memory". 
I'm using Perl 5.002 and majordomo-1.93. Despite the fact that the doc 
says that 1.93 works fine with Perl 5.00x, there is (at least...) 
one instance of an occurence of an un-backslashed @ that was reported as an 
error by Perl. It looks to me that there would be other occurences as 
well that should be corrected. However, I did correct just the one about 
Perl did complain.
Sendmail is 8.7.5/8.6.11.

Thank You for any suggestion; for now, I really have no idea where to 
look for: is it majordomo? or Perl? or Linux?

(Not to mention that I'm not very eager to try too often. After eating up 
the memory, occasionally some daemons die or at least stop working - of 
course, the accounting one was the first hit by this. Another time, named 
stopped working - altough it wasn't zombified. So starting majordomo is 
as good as being prepared to reboot. Sigh.)
