majordomo 1.94.5.  Close?

Your sendmail is NOT adding the @domain.name to your fstover address when
you send email to majordomo on the local server.  You need to edit the
majordomo.pl script at line 605.  Comment out the current line 605 and add
this line immediately after it.

	# if (!(/\@/ && /\./)) {
	if (/\@/ && ! /\./) {

This will now allow email addresses on localhost to be unqualified, AND these
address formats will also be allowed in your subscriber file.

If you are uncomfortable editing the majordomo.pl file, you can add 
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')dnl
to your sendmail.mc and rebuild the sendmail.cf with 
`m4 sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf`
