Ok, must have been a search problem.  From memory, what you need to do to
configure what you want is to edit the sendmail config file to allow for the
option MeToo.  When expanding aliases, sendmail matches the sender against
recipients, and defaults to _not_ sending a message from the sender back to the
sender.  What you want is to have the author receive, so you need to turn that
option on.  What I did was to edit the sendmail.cf so that the O MeToo line does
_not_ have a # as the first character, then you must restart sendmail to load in
the new configuration ( sendmail auto-checks for some configs, but not this one
).

Alternatively, I understand that you can edit the wrapper alias for majordomo to
call sendmail with the -OMetoo as a command argument, but I am not sure the
syntax.
