This is because sendmail is not automatically adding your domain to local
(to your machine) user addresses. This can be fixed by one or both of the
following suggestions.
1. Change line 605 of majordomo.pl so that it does not "require" fully
qualified email addresses. Do this by changing from
if (!(/\@/ && /\./)) { # line 605 in version 1.94.5
to
if (/\@/ && !/\./) { # line 590 in version 1.94.4
and let sendmail worry about what is a valid address instead of majordomo
making assumptions. The first statement requires an @ and a . in the
address. The replacement (going back to the old way) only requires the .
if an @ is in the address. But it worked without complaining in 1.94.4,
so why did they break it in 1.94.5? The choice is yours.
2. Change sendmail.cf so that it can make majordomo happy before
majordomo complains. Do this by adding
FEATURE(always_add_domain)
to your sendmail.mc file and rebuilding your sendmail.cf from it, or
modify your sendmail.cf directly, checking S10, S20, S30, S40, and S50 for
any lines that may be commented out. Uncomment them to enable "add
local" domain qualification. Then restart sendmail.
If you are running sendmail newer than 8.9.x, these rulesets may have
extra characters between the S at the beginning of a line, and the number.
SEnvFromL=10, SEnvToL=20, SHdrFromL=30, SHdrToL=40, and SAddDomain=50.
