Maybe reboot if you haven't lately. > I spent most of yesterday afternoon trying to get Majordomo to work and have exactly the same error. The error 137 (according to the Majordomo docs) is probably being returned from the mailer (sendmail in my case) but the man page for sendmail points to the syscodes header file which does not contain 137. If you run 'top' while majordomo runs, you'll see that it starts out with a few hundred k of swap, then every few seconds it grabs more and more and more and eventually runs out, faults and is killed. I assume it's a permissions error, but all I have to go on is the error code (136 or 137). If you find out anything more, please let me know. -Dave
