Searching the majordomo FAQ for "group writable" reveals:
4.12 - Majordomo doesn't seem to work with sendmail 8.9
The new security features of sendmail don't allow :include: directories
to be group writable. Unfortunately, by default these directories are
group writable with Majordomo. If you have this problem you will see
errors from sendmail like "Cannot open /path/name: Group writable
directory" and "aliasing/forwarding loop broken".
One solution is to add:
O DontBlameSendmail=groupwritabledirpathsafe
in your sendmail.cf and restart sendmail.
The other method (and generally the recommended one) is to remove the
group-write bit on the lists directory and any list files. Make sure
also any parent directories to not have the group or other write bit
set. If Majordomo is working correctly having group write permission
is not necessary. However, some people find it convenient to have
group-write access so users can be put in the majordomo group and not
need root access all the time to work on majordomo.
