Well, I thought I would contribute what I have done to get majordomo and
mailman running on the same host. This all done with sendmail 8.13.1+
version so use those sendmail books if you have an older/newer version
of sendmail. Add the following flags to mm-handler under sendmail:
<F=A/|:> Add these to the flags of the mm-handler line.
(/) is probably not necessary I just have not tried it with out.
(A) forces alias lookups.
(:) is for (:include:) part of majordomo which is not the default no
more or least not in 8.13.1+.
(|) is necessary because majordomo uses pipes/forks process off to
majordomo.I am very pleased that I do not need to edit the mm-handler even though I had started. This will now allow me to cleanly migrate my customer off of majordomo to mailman.
