Majordomo troubles

Error 126 when posting to a new list.

I got recommended this site as a place to ask this question - I've already posted this elsewhere with no luck as it seems there aren't that many majordomo uses about (really??):

I'm going crazy here... I've got majordomo working on my server, I can create lists that show up when someone sends the 'list' command in an email, and people can subscribe to them. The problem is, no-one can post!

My majordomo.aliases file contains:

# F1list
f1list: "¦/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l f1list f1list-outgoing"
f1list-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/f1list
owner-f1list: f1list-owner
f1list-request: "¦/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper request-answer f1list"
owner-f1list-request: f1list-owner
f1list-owner: admin
f1list-approval: admin

I've created an alias for f1list and f1list-outgoing on the server, pointing
to themselves..

Now I'm getting an error when I try to post:

----- Transcript of session follows -----
sh: /usr/local/majordomo/wrapper: No such file or directory
554 "¦/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l f1list f1list-outgoing" ...
unknown mailer error 126

What does that error mean? I don't know that much about perl / unix / majordomo itself. I've been learning as I go along and I'm frustrated to get this far and be stuck. Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi Booknet, welcome to WmW

I've never used Majordomo, but the error message

sh: /usr/local/majordomo/wrapper: No such file or directory

looks very much like there's some more configuration needed.

It looks like 'wrapper' can't find the mail program it's supposed to use to send the mails - but I could be very wrong ;)

Is there an option in the config file to specify the mailer?

Hi.

Very belated thanks for the welcome, and for your thoughts! I can't see anything that needs changing in the config files - the rest of majordomo seems to work, so everything should be in the right place?

I've just given up and emailed the host now. Lets see what they say...

Thanks again.
