For one thing, majordomo interprets messages from "itself" as a mail loop
and will not reply. Look at your /etc/aliases and your majordomo.aliases
files to see who/where majordomo-owner or owner-majordomo resolve to, to
find out why root received the message.
Did you do this as the root user...
ln -s /usr/lib/majordomo/majordomo.aliases /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
In your /etc/sendmail.cf do you have...
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases, /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
If these are correct, run `newaliases` or `sendmail -bi` as the root user
to rebuild the .db files.
