Subject: From address not being set properly

I have read section 3.1 of the FAQ ("How do I direct bounces to the
right address?") but still can't seem to get this to work.  The From
line shows the sender as majordom@myhost.com instead of
owner-mylist@myhost.com.  If I understand things right, that should be
set using the -f flag in the .cf file:
$mailer = "$sendmail_command -oi -oem -f\$sender";
$bounce_mailer = "$sendmail_command -oi -oem -f\$sender -t";

and $sender is set in the list-specific .config file:

sender = owner-mylist

All of that is set correctly in my configuration.  Any thoughts on where
else I should look?  Any tips are appreciated.

Here are some more details:

I'm running majordomo 1.94.4 on Debian Linux 2.0.38.  I've got majordomo
set up as a virtual server, but I've correctly passed -C as the first
flag to resend in my alias file to point it to the domain-specific .cf
file.  Anything else I should mention?
