Working as designed.  <g>

There are a few things to do.  The most important is to edit your
virtusertable file and add:

listusers-list@yourdomain.com	error:nouser User unknown

(Note: that is a tab separating the two entries in the file.)

That will prevent the mail from going through but still allow local
users to use that alias (majordomo is local.)

You may also want to modify your listusers alias to:

listusers:"|/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper resend -l listusers
listusers-list,nobody"

and make sure you have nobody aliased to /dev/null instead of root.

This keeps the listusers-list from showing in the headers of list mail.

HTH!
