Maybe it is because I am on a hotel provided internet connection, but the
5.5.0 error is probably related more to your network configuration than it
is the sendmail or majordomo configuration.  Do this;

telnet svrdom01.cmaontheweb.com 25<enter>
and you should see something like this;
Trying 204.252.239.230...
Connected to 204.252.239.230.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 reserve.guest-tek.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.9.3/8.8.7; Wed, 15 Aug 2001 20:21:36 -0700

The line above will reveal the version number of your sendmail.  I do not know if I
connected to a proxy or to your mail server from the information above.  The guest-tek
domain is part of the hotel service, so I think I got a proxy here.

To get out of the connection type "quit<enter>" without the quotes.

Now, about DNS.  I look up nameservers for your domain and only get one
name/address returned.  You are required to have 2 nameservers for your
domain.  When I do a look up of MX records for your domain, I get two
names that themselves do not resolve in DNS.

THAT is probably what your 5.5.0 error is about.
