I think your users are mistaken, but IF that were true, I think we would all be able to see the entire user population from this list every time a message came to us from majordomo-users.  It just doesn't happen.  At least not in current releases of majordomo.  Or are you running a beta version of MJ2?  What version of sendmail are you running?  What do your aliases look like for your lists?

Minimally, use majordomo 1.94.(4|5) with sendmail 8.9.3 and set up
your list alias to use the resend feature of majordomo like so;

test: "|/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test test-outgoing,nobody"
test-outgoing: :include:/majordomo/lists/test

These aliases make at least a half dozen assumptions, but the key is
in the ,nobody" .   This prevents your outgoing address and include
file from showing up in the headers of the messages sent to your
list.

Are you subscribed to this list?  Do you see all the thousands of rcpts
in the headers when you receive this?

They are pulling your leg.  Have them send you the headers for proof.

Majordomo does not send the mail, the MTA does.  In the case of majordomo
working with sendmail, one message is created and a control file that has
all the recipients for sendmail to deal with.  I suppose the process 
could be fouled up by UUCP type delivery, but cannot confirm that.  In 
either case, it would be sendmail (or other MTA) that is not properly
hiding the contents of your :include: file.
