Hi Darren,
The sendmail aliases file, in Linux, is /etc/aliases Majordomo uses list files which contain all of the addresses in a mailing list and then it uses aliases within one of three different files -- the /etc/aliases file, the virtusertable (which in Linux is in the /etc/mail/ directory), or you can make a third aliases file for Majordomo which is recommended to be placed in /etc. It is probably easier to just add aliases to the /etc/aliases file unless you are running many lists. Then I would probably make a separate aliases file for Majordomo. If you do make the additional file, you need to change the sendmail.cf and reboot sendmail.
One other catch--if you make changes to /etc/aliases, you need to run the command newaliases to get them to be accepted in sendmail. This will convert your text file into the .db (I think)
Not sure about the sendmail.cf directions. When I first set up Majordomo, I used the instructions at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Majordomo-MajorCool-HOWTO/index.html
this helped A LOT.
