Dear Mr. MacKay,

This is what I get when I run the command you suggested:

% echo hi | /usr/lib/sendmail -v -bv theclub
theclub... aliased to "|/usr/local/mail/mailman/mail/wrapper post theclub"
"|/usr/local/mail/mailman/mail/wrapper post theclub"... deliverable:
mailer prog, user "|/usr/local/mail/mailman/mail/wrapper post theclub"

Everything is installed on the same machine: ag.arizona.edu.

Incidentally, majordomo-1.94.5 works, but we had to add that
"DontBlameSendmail..." line for Group Writable directories.  This is what
those aliases looke like:

studentnews: "|/opt/local/mail/majordomo/wrapper resend -p bulk -M 10000
-l stud
entnews -f studentnews-owner -h ag.arizona.edu studentnews-outgoing" 

sendmail -v -vb studentnews gives a message similar to that of theclub.

Still need help,
Aaryn
