Is /home/majordomo what you have in your aliases file for majordomo too
then? Did you install majordomo to /home/majordomo?
Your alias looks like;
majordomo: "|/home/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
If you do a newaliases command as root, do status for both alias files
get displayed? I assume from your comment about logs that both
majordomo.aliases and aliases files are recognized by sendmail.
If you are getting userid unknown, (550 I assume), majordomo is not
being found in either the aliases, virtusertable, or passwd files. If
it is found, it is pointing/redirecting
to a user that does not exist.
