Root should not be the majordomo owner.

if majordomo is
"majordom:x:91:91:List Manager:/opt/majordomo:/bin/sh"
NOTE: do not use csh|ksh|zsh for the shell, bash is ok.

make sure there is either a group 91 for majordomo to
belong to, or make the group the same number as mail, not daemon.

Make sure the wrapper is compiled to match settings (uid:gid) of
the majordomo user.

Take your time and get it right.  First sendmail has to work, then
the aliases for sendmail, then list expansion, then piping to other
programs like majordomo's wrapper.
