G'day, just thought you'd like to know: I downloaded and installed the majordomo-1.94.4 port. All seemed to go ok except for when I first tried to use it. I got a message saying that majordomo wasn't a valid return address. I did a bit of a search throught the archives and found that it was actually an alias problem. When I ran newaliases I got: hash map "Alias1": unsafe map file /usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo: Permission denied WARNING: cannot open alias database /usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo Cannot create database for alias file /usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo: Operation not supported by device I noticed someone created an aliases.majordomo.db file from /dev/null so I did a "touch aliases.majordomo.db" and tried running newaliases again and it seemed to work ok and majordomo seems to be working as well. I just thought you might wan't to include a blank aliases.majordomo.db file with the port. (Assuming of course I've fixed it properly). Also/or you might just want to mention in the post-install-notes that the file needs to be there and newaliases needs to be run.
