I know that FreeBSD.ORG is running it, but after much searching and digging I 
have yet to find a FreeBSD port for it.  My system complains about the 
compiling of the Wrapper program: something about a comparison between pointer 
and integer and a couple of other compile-time errors.

The Makefile from the 1.93 release also chokes on my system.  It fails to do 
some of the copying it is supposed to do.  I have hacked it somewhat, but 
still cannot get it to work.  

I followed the Makefile and copied the files manually (ugh!). Double checked 
all the configuration files, and still get the error back from the Wrapper 
program that I should re-compile with POSIX options.  Even tried that.. still 
the same error.

About to give up... If you do find a FreeBSD port of Majordomo, I would really 
like to share it with you.

Peace,
Blake
