Someone suggested this was a bogus questions as majordomo doesn't run setuid - a wrapper that calls it does. I suspect that was an unintentional question dodge - you'd still need to run *a* setuid program to run that majordomo installation including the wrapper. Using Exim or qmail instead of sendmail you can run majordomo direct as user majordom rather than running things through the wrapper. Bear in mind that the wrapper does more than just set the setuid - it's sets a few environment vars up too. I can dig out how we did it under Exim if that'd be considered helpful.
