I did not realize root: mturnbull, was in your aliases, or I would have
suggested sending testalias: some@where.else. Did you send a message to
testalias@castleinfo.com too?
Is it possible that all mail sent to anything@castleinfo.com is coming
to your mailbox? Did you execute `newaliases` or `/usr/lib/sendmail -bi`
as the root user after setting up your aliases?
Is the owner.group of your majordomo heirarchy majordomo.majordomo?
When sendmail has a problem with delivery to an address, it looks for
an owner-address to deliver to. That could be why you are getting
the mail that is addressed to majordomo@castleinfo.com.
For sendmail's sake, is /, /usr, and /usr/local all 755 permission?
Also for sendmail's sake, chmod -R go-w /usr/local/majordomo
Is there anything in the sendmail log file (/var/log/maillog) that
would indicate mail to majordomo being redirected to root, or is
sendmail generating an error for root (postmaster) and delivering
to your mailbox?
