That would run all majordomo deliveries as wh because
majordomo.aliases is the main majordomo alias file.

majordomo depends heavily on pipes, so that file is full of them.

I see. While my current problem was solved by using archive2.pl,
it would be a good idea to allow specifying modes and uid/gids for
files. Otherwise you would clutter up your configuration with special
alias files and special drivers that only serve for _one_ delivery.
This is not urgent, though.
