You're correct, guys, I neglected to mention the permissions on the
directories.  The permissions are:
drwxr-xr-x  19 root     root         1024 May 12 10:25 /usr/
drwxr-xr-x  18 root     root         1024 May 13 09:07 /usr/local/
drwxr-x--x   7 majordom daemon       1024 May 13 11:04 /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.1/
drwxrwx---   2 majordom daemon       1024 May 13 11:02 /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.1/lists/

But that still looks correct to me.  Any other ideas?  All of the
aliases work properly EXCEPT the ones that use the :include: directive.

-------- UPDATE --------
Just for kicks, I decided to change the permissions on the directory
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.1/lists to 775 and it WORKED.  SO...what are
the permissions on /usr/lib/sendmail.  AHA - check THIS out:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           16 May 12 10:53 /usr/lib/sendmail -> ../sbin/sendmail*
-rwsr-sr-x   1 root     mail       282420 Dec 17 14:21 /usr/sbin/sendmail*

IT'S GROUP "mail" AND NOT GROUP "daemon" - ARGH!!!!!  The guys at Red
Hat decided that sendmail should be group mail instead of group daemon.

Problem solved.

Thanks guys.
