Most likely this means your sendmail is compiled to use the
smrsh feature, but you do not have a link to "wrapper" in the
proper smrsh or sm.bin directory.

Since you are running RedHat, do a google search for
majordomo-1.94.5-2.i386.rpm

Using an RPM is much easier for newbies to deal with in most
cases.  Especially if you do not understand what I said in 
the first paragraph of this message.
