It appears that sendmail is upset with your group writable directories.
You have two choices. http://www.sendmail.org/tips/DontBlameSendmail.html
will give you advice on what setting you may find as an acceptable risk
for allowing group writable directories, or, take the group write bit off
of all your mailing list directories. (chmod -R g-w) Sendmail will bitch
about group writable directories all the way back down to /.
Majordomo is actually capable of functioning in directories with 700
permissions. The problem with this, is group members must still SU to
majordomo to get any local file manipulation done.
