A few things to consider here. Majordomo has been successfully deployed
with Netscape messaging server, which should work the same with iPlanet
messaging server. Issues are telling configutil to strip CR from mail
delivered to unix accounts/program delivery, and resh wrapper permissions.
Since you have already taken an easier route, I will address that.

I will assume the iPlanet server is mail.luzerne.edu, which also accepts
mail addressed to luzerne.edu, and the MX for both point to the same server.

Majordomo passes all mail to sendmail for delivery. If the mail is trying
to be delivered locally, it is a sendmail configuration issue. Make sure
sendmail only sees itself as lists.luzerne.edu and not luzerne.edu. Make
sure DNS on this box knows the MX for luxerne.edu is mail.luzerne.edu.
Make sure majordomo knows itself as lists.luzerne.edu. Add an address in
LDAP for majordomo@luzerne.edu that says the mailhost is lists.luzerne.edu.

Assuming your sendmail is willing to use a mailertable, yes. Set up the
mailertable entry like this;
luzerne.edu smtp:mail.luzerne.edu
