Gonna need just a tad bit more information than that.  How about posting (to
the list):
1)  aliases file(s).  I figure this hasn't changed, but you might notice
something while you're posting it.
2)  If there are multiple aliases files, make sure that in sendmail.cf that
all are defined.  For example, when you do a 'newaliases', does it see all
alias files that it should be seeing?  By any chance, did you just upgrade a
newer sendmail?  That points to this one.
3)  Is mj set to queue mail?  If so, is your sendmail set to run the queue
(defaults to 1 hour, I believe, so it seems it should be).  Also, if
sendmail is set to HoldExpensive, then it will queue majordomo mail until
the queue is next run (piping to a program is considered "expensive").
4)  Snippets from your mail logs where it receives mail and says what it
does with it.
5)  Is it messages to majordomo that are the problem, or is it messages to
the list, or both?
6)  If it's a problem with the list only, post your list.config file (minus
passwords of course).

Anything further will only be guesses.  I'm sure Dan will be able to figure
it out in short order for you :)

struggling and wasting time trying to deal with it, and want to exchange
coping-strategy tips with others in the same boat.  --  Rick Moen
