These look okay to me with one exception. I would add "nobody" at the end
of the wrapper alias:
directors: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l directors
directors-list,nobody"
From the faq:
Sendmail 8.x will unfortunately log your -outgoing alias in the
"Received:" lines. To prevent this you need to specify more than one
address for the list name argument to resend. (for example
"mylist:|"/usr/local/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -h foo.org -l mylist
mylist-seekrit,nobody"" where nobody is an alias for /dev/null)
You would add the following to your aliases:
nobody: /dev/null

Not sure what you mean by this.

Check that the config file is
