Have you ever `su`d to majordomo? Tried to login as the majordomo
user? I think RH6.x supports 9 character login names. I know 6.2
does.
Virtusertable is only used if you are doing virtual hosting, so most
likely it is not needed.
You do not have a majordomo entry in both aliases files do you? Then
again, if you did, you would not get an error about duplicate entries
from the newaliases command either. What error message do you get if
you try to send to dliston@conpoint.com? Since I do not exist in your
domain, the error should be similar to the one you are getting for
majordomo.
Another thought just crossed my mind. If you used the RPM install, your
majordomo home directory should be /usr/lib/majordomo and the data
files, lists directory, etc., should be in /var/lib/majordomo. Is your
/var/lib/majordomo-1.94.5 directory owned by majordomo?
The default version of sendmail in RH6.1 is 8.9.3. Have you left it as
is, or upgraded? I am almost certain the error is more sendmail related
than majordomo related, but I have to admit, at this point I am stumped.
