The sendmail init script in RH and Mdk loads some environment variables
from /etc/syconfig/sendmail and then uses those to call sendmail. Since
you're on BSD, you probably are directly editing the environment
variables in the main config file and so can ignore my information.

I'd be willing to bet that someone is sending email back to your
list-outgoing address instead of your list address. OR, the email is
coming back to list-owner and you get a copy of it (which is normal) and
nobody else on the list does. OR, the email is coming back to the list
and you get a copy bounced to you since you're the list-owner, but
nobody else on the list does.
The problem appears if one of the last two situtations is what's
happening and everybody _IS_ getting a copy of the message. Then I
would look to make sure that you are running through resend (or else the
features of majordomo don't get used). There's lots of examples in the
archives of Dan answering that very question. So I suppose the first
thing to do (if you have not done it already) is to post your aliases
and to post whether you have a virtuser entry for the list-outgoing
address that refuses mail.
