My guess is that you're seeing an abort loop, possibly involving
logging. Is the path to sendmail you specified correct? Is that sendmail
executable by the Mj user? Try setting $DEBUG=1;, probably at the top
of your majordomo.cf file. That will print debugging information. If
you can't figure out what's wrong from that, post the output, plus your
majordomo.cf file, to this list. If you do figure it out, let us (the
mj-workers list) know where you went wrong so we can enhance config-test
if appropriate.
