It looks like your majordomo is setup up as uid 851 and gid 12.
Not a configuration I recommend, or from reading the sendmail
FAQ, does not look like they recommend either.
Regardless, check your passwd and groups files to verify what
uid:gid majordomo really is. Check your /etc/majordomo.cf to
see where your lists are supposed to be ($listdir). Verify
that both the passwd file and the majordomo.cf agree on where
the $HOMEdir is.
>From the majordomo $HOME directory, as root do;
chown -R majordomo.majordomo *
chown root wrapper
cd lists # assuming it lives under majordomo's $HOME
rm *.new L.*
chmod 640 *.config
Now, depending on what settings you have customized in your
listname.config files, you may want to do writeconfig
commands for each of your lists, then go back in and make
sure none of the *config files have generic, out-of-the-box
password settings, which would allow students or other access
to your lists in a potentially dangerous way.
