Caroline,
What happens if you do the following on the system that receives mail?
sendmail -bv first
If it reports "...mail deliverable", Oh well, so much for my expertise:)
But on the other hand if its "...undeliverable"; now it's strictly a sendmail issue, I would say.
Try, 'chmod 777 /var/majordomo/lists/first-digest' and all it's ancestors.
Now if it works, then it's sendmail permission/setuid issue.
You local sendmail expert should be able to fix it.
I had a similar problem at 1.94.4 on HP-UX 10.20.
P.S. don't leave the permissions at '777'
