Gary,

You and Jon Jacob are asking me nearly the same question, but have slightly
different configurations.  Please do not confuse my replies to Jon as being
specific to your instance unless I have your name in the To: field.  In YOUR
case, everywhere in the message to Jon, you would replace /usr/majordomo-1.94.5
with /usr/local/majordomo and every occurrance of lists-ssa or
/usr/majordomo-1.94.5/lists-ssa with "lists" or /usr/local/majordomo/lists
respectively.

The biggest reason fronters and footers break or will not work is when an
email message comes into the list with MIME encapsulation.  The only time
fronters and footers can work is on plain vanilla ASCII text messages.  If
you send a message to the test list using unix shell (command line) email
tools like pine, elm, mutt, or "mail" do footers and fronters work then?

Did you compair my set of aliases and the uncommented config file to your
own?  Perhaps it is something in the content of your footer or fronter that
is giving you grief.  Please post the exact setting you are trying to use
from your test.config file (to the majordomo-users list), and what you have
done to support your claim that majordomo is not using .config files.  I can
claim and prove majordomo does use it's config files (on my system).
