Hi ppl, 

I'm answering my own Question for those of you who might have gotten the
same problem as me..

I've fixed my permission problem by making my lists directory with only
755 as it's permission.  It seems that sendmail doesn't like the fact that
the lists directory (which contains the majordomo mailing lists
definitions) to be group writable.

Thanx for your help anyway :)
