This error is from sendmail.  Did you read the sendmail FAQ and search on
majordomo?  It is a very good "how-to" for setting up majordomo with sendmail.
You could also check the archives here and search on "Group writable directory".
This has been answered many times, or it would not be in the FAQ.  Yes, it is
in the majordomo FAQ too.  You need to chmod go-w on all the directories in the
tree leading to /usr/bin/majordomo-1.94.5/lists/.

Look at (read) the sendmail FAQ regarding majordomo.  It says setting up
majordomo with a group of daemon is a bad idea.  Just as bad as setting it
up as group mail.  I think the fix for question #1 above will solve this too.
