Since majordomo.cf is eval'ed as Perl code, yes, it's correct. Note that
the list config files are *not* eval'ed, however, so they don't require
escapes for such characters. Also worthy of note is that Perl 5 interprets
'@' in "quotish" strings, which includes more than mere quoted strings:
most regular expressions, most "here" documents, and alternate quotes
are also interpolated. Note that array variables that begin with '@'
should *not* be escaped. Some examples:
@array = () no escape (array variable)
"user\@domain" escape the @ (quoted string)
q(user\@domain) escape the @ (alternate quotes)
'user@domain' no escape (no interpolation w/in '')
/\@/ escape the @ (quotish regexp)
m:\@: escape the @ (quotish regexp)
m'@' no escape (no interpolation w/in m'')
s/\@/#/ escape the @ (quotish regexp)
s|#|\@| escape the @ (quotish regexp)
s'@'#' no escape (no interpolation w/in s''')
print <<END escape all @s (quotish here document)
$owner\@$whereami
END
print <<"END" escape all @s (quotish here document)
$owner\@$whereami
END
print <<'END' no escape (no interpolation for this here document)
$owner@$whereami ($owner and $whereami aren't interpolated)
END

Everything that will be interpolated by Perl 5. That includes the
required (included) files such as majordomo.pl, config_parse.pl,
shlock.pl, and majordomo_version.pl.

What are you wanting wrapper to pick up? It couldn't care less about the
host name. However you do have the $whereami variable in majordomo.cf
and resend_host in the list config files. If you're talking about a
sendmail alias then just run newaliases to make it known to sendmail.
