When you ls -ld a directory that is group writable, it looks like;

drwxrwx---
      ^----the second w is the group write flag

It needs to be changed to look like this;

drwxr-x---
or
drwxr-x--x
or
drwxr-xr-x

by doing a chmod 750 or 751 or 755 respectively.

Which directory sendmail is complaining about could be anything in
the tree between / and /usr/local/majordomo/lists, so check;

/
/usr
/usr/local
/usr/local/majordomo
/usr/local/majordomo/lists

for group write flags, and change them.
