I am not sure why the .new file is mail.mail ownership either, but delete it.

Your tree to the majordomo branch needs pruned.  You have group writable
permissions on majordomo and majordomo/lists. chmod go-w.

You should also check / /var and /var/lib while you are at it.

Make sure sendmail trusts majordomo too.  In the sendmail.cf add
Tmajordomo
to the "Trusted users" section.
