Two things, what "version" of sendmail are your running? Newer versions, especially with linux, utilize smrsh.
If yours does, you need to make sure you have a link to "wrapper" in the smrsh directory. This directory is usually /etc/smrsh (in linux).
Majordomo will make a default listname.conf file just by the existance of a listname (subscriber) file in your lists directory.
Hint: make sure no part of the directory tree leading to listname.resend is group or world writable.

It sends a Delivery Failure Report to the root of the box(which is actually routed back to the production mail servers to my email account). I am new to majordomo and i do not have to much experience with sendmail and linux, but i can get around pretty good.
