We have both perl4.035 and majordomo running on a DECstation 5500 with
Ultrix 4.2.  While I admit it wasn't the easiest piece of software I
have a ever installed, it wasn't that bad.  I followed the
instructions in the paper, and it went right in (with only a little
hacking).

That is something like what we are using it for.  Right now, I only
have one list running on it, and it is closed, but I have several
others that we plan on moving over to it in the near future.  It does
work, and well!
