I think the correct solition is to put mailnull user into majordom group in /etc/group Well my majordomo just started working when I put mailnull into majordom group. I didnt need to touch anything about /usr/libexec/sm.bin By the way I only made simple commands lists etc. work so I dont know how much functionality I have yet. Even though sendmail man pages for smrsh suggests that the commands should be put into /usr/libexec/sm.bin somehow my solution is also working perhaps because I have the full path after | in aliases?
