I missed the last 24 hours of majordomo mail due to experimentation
with my mailhost configuration and spambouncer, so I am using the
web based archives to try to catch up for today.

This looks weird to me when everything else indicates glass.cl.msu.edu;
relay=localhost.my.domain.  If you comment out the majordomo alias in
the aliases.majordom file, but add it to the default aliases file, and
rebuild indexes with either `newaliases` or `sendmail -bi`, can you
send to majordomo without the message bouncing?
