Hi Geof!

Thanks for your note.

I have not heard any response, except an automated note - some list 
member's original email address is no longer valid.

I'm still attempting to chase down the proper configuration to get mlmmj 
running with Sendmail as the MTA.  I too, considered using Postfix, but 
Sendmail is already running, and don't want to try with Postfix if it's 
not required.

I've begun the slow process of reading through the list archives, but 
haven't found anything that helps me yet.

When you tried asking the list previously, did you receive any 
responses?  If so, can you recall more specifically when that might have 
been? - I'd like to go back and see any feedback you might have 
received, even if it wasn't enough to help you solve this. Perhaps a 2nd 
pair of eyes on the same feedback, combined with what I'm seeing on my 
server, might somehow reveal the trick.

Is there anyone still doing development/support for mlmmj?

I've spend years working with and configuring servers, including 
customizing automated processes that work in the background with 
majordomo lists. Unfortunately majordomo hasn't been supported in years 
and is quickly becoming unusable in today's server/mail environments.

I would love to find a new mailing list tool to work with, and mlmmj 
seems like a great candidate, but I need some help getting out of the 
starting blocks with configuring this on a CentOS LAMP server 
environment running Sendmail - a very common platform.

Unless I've completely missed something obvious, the documentation on 
the mlmmj website doesn't speak to running with Sendmail, except when 
trying to use VERP (using VERP isn't a requirement for configuring mlmmj 
to work with Sendmail, is it?)

I'm not even sure that my issue is related Sendmail, but I can't find 
any documentation that can tell me either way.

Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!!!

Philip
