I have an example from my own domain below. It wasn't too obvious for me from looking at the maillog except I have a guess that it is also sending to the nobody account:<BR>

The aliases.majordomo shows nobody. I see this on so many of the majordomo sections.<BR>
<BR>
901-sales-approval: muntada<BR>
901-sales-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper request-answer sales"<BR>
owner-901-sales: muntada<BR>
901-sales-list: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/sites/site28/lists/sales, 901-sales-archival<BR>
901-sales-archival: /dev/null<BR>
901-sales-owner: muntada<BR>
901-sales: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l sales -C /usr/local/majordomo/sites/site28/majordomo.cf 901-sales-list, nobody"<BR>
<BR>
Why would it be sending to not only the list but also to nobody?<BR>
<BR>
