   I ended up having so much trouble that I switched to sendmail.  I
 received a message that the latest exim now understands -ooe  .

you mean -oee ?  That means that any errors are forwarded to
the sender (seems like it means the address in Sender: header).

   There were many other problems, and I didn't need to find out how
 many.  I am giving up.  If anyone wants a more detailed list of what I've
 found so far, let me know. 
 
   1. when including an address file, exim wants commas for
 separators.  majordomo uses none.

Didnb't experience it.

   2. exim wants a gid and uid to run 'custom' delivery processes,
 such as majordomo. You could use the 'local_part' variable, but  this is
 'majordomo' which is an alias for a pipe to a process, and not 'majordom'
 which is the user name with a gid and uid . I don't know a robust way to
 fixthis, but its probably easy.

.../majordom/wrapper must be installed setuid root.  So it doesn't
matter what uid you give it,  I just uncommented the default user =
exim.

   3.  All of the sendmail flags in the standard majordomo config
 file broke exim, so I simply removed them.

Well, when I install majordomo to the end, I'll tell you what problems
were there.

   Oh, I see. Well, this stuff is then like a joke book, in
 manual page format, and I think that humor should still fit in under
 the doc category (If I remember correctly, that is where the
 consensus was to place books like the bible or older books whose
 copyrights have expired)

But doesn't it belong to /usr/man, if it's in groff format?

BTW, why does runlevel 6 mean reboot?  Can't it be runlevel 9?  It (6)
seems to be the standard in Linux boxen now, but why?
