In your own environment with a full time connection to the internet, (or using a backup MX host)
[/etc/aliases || /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases]?
majordomo: "|/path/to/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"


In a virtually hosted environment, where your ISP provides the service on their server(s),
[/etc/aliases || /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases]?
foo.com-majordomo: "|/path/to/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -C /path/to/foo.com/majordomo.cf"

with the additional entry
[/etc/mail/virtusertable]?
majordomo@foo.com	foo.com-majordomo

and a separate majordomo.cf with file and directory locations specific to your domain.


In an MX'd environment, where your server is not connected full time,
[DNS zone file]
foo.com.		MX 10 host.foo.com.
foo.com.		MX 20 host.your.isp.com.

Your ISP must be configured to relay inbound mail to your domain for this to work.
