Hi Colin:
First of all, I am new to linux also so..... double check before anything.
I went to the process of installing Majordomo about a month ago. I am not
sure of what mailer error 9 is right now but I believe it means sendmail can
not find /usr/local/.... or it is a permission problem related to sendmail. I am
not in linux right now so i can not look at the files and permissions, but this is
what I did.
1. All sendmail errors goto /var/log/messages. You should look there to
check what is going on.
2.In /etc/sendmail.cf increase the parameter LogLevel from 9 to 30 and
restart sendmail. In this way you will see in detail what sendmail is doing.
3. Put majordomo userid (I called it majordom) as a trusted user same as
root in sendmail.cf
4. Verify that you have all the files required and that includes the files pointed
to by the aliases. I am not in linux to check so I am doing it from memory but
if you have problems you can email me directly.
5. Verify that the majordomo configuration file and the script used to
configure majordomo when it is installed point to the same files and
directories. The files pointed to by aliases should also be in those directories.
6. Don't forget the permissions of the directories. They affect sendmail.
7. Typo errors in the aliases were my number one problem.
sorry about my bad english
