in the majordomo.cf file, you'll find:
# $sendmail_command -- Pathname to the sendmail program
# usually /usr/lib/sendmail, but some newer BSD systems
# seem to prefer /usr/sbin/sendmail
#
#$sendmail_command = "/usr/lib/sendmail";
(our settings removed due to paranoia)
followed in the file by
# $mailer -- What program and args do I use to send mail to the list?
# $bounce_mailer -- What is used to send mail anywhere else?
# The variables $to, $from, $subject, and $sender can be interpolated into
# this command line. Note, however, that the $to, $from, and $subject
# variables may be provided by the person sending mail, and much mischief
# can be had by playing with this variable. It is perfectly safe to use
# $sender, but the others are insecure.
#
# Sendmail option -oi: Do not take a . on a line by itself as the message
# terminator.
# Sendmail option -oee: Force sendmail to exit with a zero exit status if
# if it's not going to give useful information.
#
$mailer = "$sendmail_command -oi -oee -f\$sender";
$bounce_mailer = "$sendmail_command -oi -oee -f\$sender -t";
My guess is that there is a -d in the $mailer line in your file.
[Phil...the majordomo.cf file is just Perl code which is read in, becoming
part of Majordomo. But you likely knew that.]
