Re: "transport returned 127" error

Are you using exim or postfix?  What version of majordomo are you
using?  Have you considered verifying your MTA's configuration?  I
don't believe mailer.pl has ever been a part of majordomo, at least
not in the 1.9 series.  I have no experience with the alpha release
of majordomo II.  Will your MTA pipe mail to "any" script?  If not,
you need to focus on fixing the MTA before you can diagnose majordomo.
