Check the permissions on "/usr/local/mail/majordomo/wrapper" and be
sure it can be executed by incoming mail. I know, you triple
checked...

What are those permissions? There's no perl involved up to now. And 126 is
the return code of the shell.

I had the same problems once. It turned out to be a permissions problem
in the writing to the folder where the lists should reside.

I'll bet you have the simplest of errors!
Check the path to perl in the '#!' statement.

Check the permissions on the wrapper program. Make sure that it is owned
by root and is readable and executable by the UID that sendmail uses. In
my case sendmail is run by bin. I have a majordomo group that has the
users majordom and bin in it. Wrapper is set up like this:
-rwsrwx--- 1 root majordom 14233 Nov 24 16:52 wrapper*
When I first set up majordomo I got the same error because I had wrapper
owned by root and set to group root so that it could be setuid and setgid
to root.
