Today I noticed that when sending to one of the lists on my server, it came back with an error I had never seen. The error is as follows: The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- ops-outgoing :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/ops (expanded from: ops-outgoing) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/ops... Cannot open /usr/local/majordomo/lists/ops: Group writable directory Message delivered to mailing list ops-outgoing 554 ops-outgoing... aliasing/forwarding loop broken The thing is I had not changed, majordomo, its dir permissions, added any new lists, change sendmail, or modify /etc/aliases or /etc/aliases.majordomo. But when this problem kept coming, i did rm -rf /usr/local/majordomo, /etc/aliases.majordomo and then proceeded to make a new majordomo (same version 1.94.4). I added in 1 list and put the aliases in /etc/aliases.majordomo which look like this: looks like this: owner-ops:lnb owner-ops-outgoing:owner-ops ops-approval:owner-ops ops: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l ops -h freedom.cybertouch.org ops-outgoing" ops-outgoing::include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/ops ops-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l ops" I do not know what or where this broken aliasing/forwarding loop is. The ops: line is really one long line. Just that the cut and past shorten it. My directory structure is the way it is supposed to be from what the sendmail page shows. I can mail majordomo@cybertouch.org, get a list of lists. Subscribe to a list. But cannot send mail to the subscribed list. Can someone please help me out with this?
