Depending on how old (or what version) your sendmail is, 664 is too
lenient and needs to be restricted to 644.  Sendmail will not deliver
to a list in a group writable directory.  This should show up in your
/var/log/maillog file.  Majordomo is the only "user" that will ever 
need to write to any file in any of the majordomo directories.
