Due to extremely intermittent line conditions please respond to me via the 
address 'ccyr@home.com' as my own domain may not respond.

Well Agustin, I've done as you suggested to no avail.  Here's what I've done:

Up'd LogLevel to 30, restarted sendmail.  Removed the &>... portion from the 
alias as it didn't yield anything anyways. 'Newaliases' was run.

Verified permissions manually, I can't see anything wrong. Re-ran './wrapper 
config-test' as both the 'mail' user and my plain old user account, it says 
all is fine.  I've always had two files in the 'lists' directory, one is just 
a touch'd file, the other is a lists file (1 address per line).

When I run: 'echo 'lists' | mail majordomo@sycore.ml.org', the following is 
the output in the maillog (I posted the responding messages for these already):

-----------------------------------------------

Thus, for some reason it craps out and then properly hands it off (well 
partially).

Also, the account that owns everything is: majordomo.daemon

RedHat must ship a 'sendmail.cf' that doesn't recognize the daemon group as 
trusted.

-----
I've attempted to manually run the procedure.  I 'su' to the 'mail' account 
which sendmail is supposed to use to run these piped programs.

Running 'id' shows: uid=8(mail) gid=12(mail) groups=12(mail)

I have a test e-mail, '/tmp/test.msg', it is the following:

-----------------------------------------------
Return-Path: ccyr

lists
-----------------------------------------------

When manually running: 'cat /tmp/test.msg | /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4/wrapper
 majordomo', I get the following output to the terminal:
-----------------------------------------------
Substitution loop at /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4/majordomo line 177, <> chunk 
1.
-----------------------------------------------

Again, thanks for any help in advance.

BTW if you or anyone else is wondering where I picked up the source, it was 
from 'www.greatcircle.com/majordomo'.
