Can we assume from the sendmail log entry above that you sent a message
to majordomo from a yahoo account?  If so, how did you get it to go out
in "plain text"?  Majordomo does not understand MIME or HTML.

The entry above means sendmail does not trust majordomo.  You do not 
have "Tmajordomo" anywhere in your sendmail.cf file.

Your pid for sendmail changed here, and so did your messageID.
Are you sure this line is part of the same transaction?

Why did this log entry show up 30 minutes after the sendmail 
log entries?  Do you have an entry near the 23:06 time stamp?
