Try This:
majordom: majordomo
in your aliases file and create user majordom.

On my system, the name majordomo was longer than the maximum allowable
userid. When creating the userid, it let me call it majordomo, the
passwd file showed majordomo, yet a finger of majordomo displayed, unknown
user.
I had to set up a user majordom and an alias from majordom to majordomo in
my alias file, then all was well.
