Hi once again,
I tried with the faq article you send me. I changed sendmail.cf to
DontBlameSendmail=safe. The group is the same since installation. I
still get the same error msg. any more hints? I'm desperate seeking the
solution.....
Thanks.

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.
