You may want to consider changing the alias to point to the correct
directory, one level deeper. Just change ".archive" to "/test" and
make sure of two things;
1. /object_research/system/majordomo-1.94.5/archive/test/ exists 755
2. majordomo.cf has;
a. $filedir = "$homedir/archive"
b. $filedir_suffix = ""
If you want to salvage your existing test.archive.0004, move it to
/object_research/system/majordomo-1.94.5/archive/test/test.0004

This does not help potential sendmail limitations though.

Experienced opinion says; "if it is working, don't fix it" :)
The problem is, the archive is "not working". You would see files listed
with the index command if it was working.

I still have difficulty with this statement. Does this mean the 001 etc
files
are now gone from $digest_work_dir/test-digest/?
Any setting that is left blank is "undefined" in perl. Try setting
maxlength
to something like a million and maxlines to 20000. That should make it wait
long enough for your cron job to take over.
