Your having MTA issues at this point, majordomo is working.
OK, your config test is working, but your sendmail is still complaining.
You must not have done "ALL" of my suggested commands. Of course I made
those suggestions based on the assumption you are running some flavor of
linux with sendmail. We still do not have this information from you.

What machine are you using? What operating system? What mailer software?
Please include versions of each.
Still assuming you are running sendmail, but on Solaris (SunOS) you still
need to edit your /etc/sendmail.cf so it has this line...
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases, /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
and make sure there is NOT a reference in the sendmail.cf to the real file
location of /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases.
You might also still need to create a link properly so that the separate
aliases file in your majordomo directory can be used, or just configure
your lists in the primary "/etc/aliases" file and not bother with a
separate aliases file. If you decide not to bother, the paragraph above
can be ignored. Otherwise, make sure your symbolic link was created as
the root user, and the link is from
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases
to
/etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
ln -s /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases
Also, your /usr directory still has the writable bit enabled. Did you do
the `chmod go-w /usr`?
Lastly, there is information that must jive with the rest of your configuration
in the /etc/majordomo.cf, /etc/aliases and /etc/mail/majordomo.aliases. You
might want to post them to this list too.
