Time to make a couple changes to your aliases file since your :included:
file alias has been compromised.

nobody: /dev/null
listusers:"|/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper resend -l listusers listusers-sendit,nobody"
listusers-sendit: :include:/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/listusers

The rest can stay the same.  Just be sure your majordomo user is trusted
by sendmail. (you have Tmajordomo in the sendmail.cf)
