Assuming sendmail is installed and functional, you can test aliases with
sendmail -bv alias@your.domain
an alias of
nobody: /dev/null
would be tested like this;
# sendmail -bv nobody@your.domain
/dev/null... deliverable: mailer *file*, user /dev/null
To test your distribution list,
# sendmail -bv listname@your.domain
"|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l listname listname-outgoing,nobody"...
deliverable: mailer prog, user "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l listname
listname-outgoing,nobody"
and
# sendmail -bv listname-outgoing@your.domain
me@my.domain... deliverable: mailer local, user me
someuser@netscape.net... deliverable: mailer relay, host
smarthost.example.net, user someuser@netscape.net
The above shows the -outgoing address expands to the per user delivery of the
list's :include: file, and that non-local recipient mail is sent through a
smarthost.
Without seeing your aliases for the list, or the majordomo.cf file, it is
difficult to know what could be happening with your list. What do the
majordomo and sendmail log files show when you try to send mail to your list?
Do your majordomo perl scripts have the location of your installation of perl
in the first line? This is usually #!/usr/bin/perl or #!/bin/perl or possibly
even #!/usr/local/bin/perl.
