You probably have your majordomo.aliases file living inside your 
majordomo $HOME directory.  You would be better off creating a 
soft link (as the root user) to the extra aliases file in the same 
directory as your original aliases file, then pointing to that link 
in your sendmail.cf.  For example, if your sendmail aliases are in
/etc/aliases, do this as root;

cd /etc
ln -s /home/majordomo/majordomo.aliases majordomo.aliases

Then in your sendmail.cf file, define the extra aliases file as
/etc/majordomo.aliases instead of /home/majordomo/majordomo.aliases.
