I kind of have an aversion to using daemon for the majordomo group.
Please notice sendmail's FAQ on the majordomo subject:
http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html#3.32
If you did change the group without recompiling majordomo's wrapper
you could get error messages in the log, but another possibility is
the version of sendmail you upgraded to (as a side effect of the
newer OS) might utilize a submit.cf similar to the sendmail.cf. If
this is the case, make sure you have a "trust" statement for the
majordomo user in that file too.
