Majordomo is a mailing list manager (MLM) developed by Brent Chapman. It is written in Perl and works in conjunction with sendmail on UNIX and related operating systems. The name is derived from Latin "majordomo" meaning "master of the house"; in English, the word refers to a large household's chief servant.
The current version of Majordomo is 1.94.5, released 19 January 2000.
The official Web site warns that it will not work with Perl versions 5.001 and 5.005_01 specifically. It recommends using Perl 4.036 or the latest version available. Support for Perl 4.036 may not be kept for the future.
