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 VMS by Karol
   Zielonko of Digital Equipment Corporation. It is available as unsupported
   freeware.

Support:

   At the present time VMS Majordomo is not supported software.

Documentation:

   The VMS Majordomo kit contains readme files for each subcomponent you need to
   install to make VMS Majordomo work. Further,  pertinent documentation from
   Unix Majordomo is also included in the kit. The Majordomo commands, for
   example, are same for Unix and VMS 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 VMS Majordomo kit
   you can also run it on UCX V4.1.

Other Caveats:

   In order to run VMS Majordomo you need VMS Perl running on your system. The
   VMS 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
