It seems to be happy with the exception that under "Non obvious things
that can cause headaches" it says:

/(^|([^\\"]|\\.)+)"([^\\"]\\.|$)*"?/: regexp *+ operand could be empty at
majordomo.pl line 519

Translate into:

I telnet to the server and log in as csuite.  From there I choose
"Administration".  From there I choose "Majordomo Administration" and then
then choose "Create mailing lists from spooled requests" which then offer
me two choices which I had submitted as requests.  I select the second one
"editors" and then choose "Process Request" I then get an "Approve Mailing
List Creation page".  I select "Approve request" and choose "Submit form"
and get the "Mailing list Creation Results" page which says:

The mailing list "editors" (HTML Team mailing list) could not be
created.

And that's it.

Trying to work on three servers at once turns your brain to mush some
days.  As for having the shoe on the other foot I have to confess I've
been there, done that.  I'll try to remember ot give you more information
next time.  

TTFN,
Jim.
