What is Majordomo?

   Majordomo is a popular mailing list management tool originally written for
   Unix by Brent Chapman of Great Circle Associates and ported to OpenVMS by
   Karol Zielonko of HP. It is available as unsupported freeware.

Support:

   At the present time OpenVMS Majordomo is not supported software.

Documentation:

   The OpenVMS Majordomo kit contains readme files for each subcomponent you
   need to install to make OpenVMS Majordomo work. Further,  pertinent
   documentation from Unix Majordomo is also included in the kit. The Majordomo
   commands, for example, are same for Unix and OpenVMS and so it is left it to
   the Unix doc's to describe them.

UCX version compatibility:

   With the specially built UCX SMTP images included in the OpenVMS Majordomo kit
   you can also run it on UCX V4.1.

Other Caveats:

   In order to run OpenVMS Majordomo you need OpenVMS Perl running on your
   system. The OpenVMS Majordomo kit contains pointers information to get it.

How to get the kit:

   The kit such as it is is a uuencoded ZIP file. The zip files are available
   publicly in the vms-majordomo-users archive. To see what's there at any time
   just direct a Majordomo index command to the list. Eg:

      MAIL> send/noedit
      To: smtp%"majordomo@ucx.lkg.dec.com"
      Subject: whatever
      Enter your message below. Press CTRL/Z when complete, or CTRL/C to quit:
      index vms-majordomo-users
      <CTRL-Z>

   Then use the get command to fetch the file. Eg:

      MAIL> send/noedit
      To: smtp%"majordomo@ucx.lkg.dec.com"
      Subject: whatever
      Enter your message below. Press CTRL/Z when complete, or CTRL/C to quit:
      get vms-majordomo-users vms_majordomo_ft3_zip.uuencoded
      <CTRL-Z>
