I just used the following in /etc/aliases and I don't get
any messages from the list for jrose (only messages from
everyone else). I.e., a straight-forward MD setup...

Clip from my /etc/aliases (RH 5.0/2.0.34):

#

#  Aliases in this file will NOT be expanded in the header from

# Majordomo stuff
majordomo:      "|/opt/majordomo-1.94.4/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: jrose
majordomo-owner: jrose
eluglist::include:/opt/majordomo-1.94.4/lists/eluglist
owner-eluglist: jrose

# majordomo will know which mailing list this is for...
eluglist-approval: jrose
[clip]

That's all I remember doing other than the user/group
setup for Majordomo and the permissions as mentioned
in the docs.
