This would seem to be a problem with your version of sendmail.
The biggest list I know of being run by Majordomo is my own Firewalls
mailing list, with 766 users (I'd be interested to hear if anybody
knows of any bigger ones, by the way). The version of Sendmail that
Sun ships (based on something prehistoric, like 5.59 or earlier) seems
to work just fine.
The latest version of sendmail (5.67) is available for anonymous FTP
from FTP.UU.NET, file networking/mail/sendmail/sendmail-5.67.tar.Z.
It might work better than what NeXT ships, but I don't know.
