Subject: <MAILER-DAEMON> is not a valid return address.

I have recently installed majordomo-1.94.5 on a digital unix machine
Everything appears to be working, but it has trouble sending out
announcements.  If announcements are disabled, everything works fine.
If you enable announcements, it sends me an error message when trying to
send out the announcements.  I have looked through the
faq and mailing list archives and found no help.    I realize MAILER-DAEMON
is a bad email address, I just don't get where it is set.
I have tried making changes in the .config file and the .cf file and no
luck.  I think it is a sendmail problem, here is the version:
 	Sendmail 5.65v4.0 .  (i dont want to upgrade if possible)
MAILER-DAEMON is defined in the sendmail.cf, but it is aliased in aliases
to root, which should be fine.
Here is the error message in the log file:
