Thanks Bill & Deb for your responses,

I followed the instructions I found, sendmail is set up to use the
/usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo (through a link
/etc/mail/alaises.majordomo), I changed the $aliases variable in
mj_build_aliases to point to the file.  However, when I create a list,
nothing is being added to the aliases.majordomo.  

My mj_build_aliases.args contains:
-a -d -A /usr/local/majordomo/aliases.majordomo -o majordom

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Joe
