On Wednesday, I moved our department's mail server from an old underpowered
DEC Alpha to a dual PIII-500 running 3.3-RELEASE. Everything is going fine
(sendmail, imap, pop, etc) except for our majordomo lists. I installed
majordomo from the ports collections and copied over our old list files.

My test mailing lists worked fine, so I thought I'd go ahead with the
install. Well, I'm getting reports that some majordomo lists aren't working
right. This is what the list owners are getting:

I'm assuming that the important message is the "mail.local: unknown name", 
but can't figure out what the problem is.
