Change your address... you're using 

	Tab Mailing Lists Server <majordom@tab.or.th>

You shouldn't (for various reasons, eg. many MLMs are configured
to REJECT mail coming from an account with Majordom in it, likewise
if you chose a name such as Listserv/Listproc the same may happen).

Excluding the list aliases .... I've got 3 :

majordomo: "|/home/majordom/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: macrell
majordomo-owner: macrell

Yes.  See above.

Because Majordomo is not a real user, it's aliased to a script/file
(above it's "|/home/majordom/wrapper majordomo").

Send the mail to Majordomo instead.  (Disable non-local mail to
majordom - though I hope someone would correct me, if that's
wrong advice).

Yes, you should.
