What have you done to troubleshoot this, ie. identify majordomo as the
problem?  What is your MTA, and version?  What version of majordomo are
you running?  What modifications/patches have been applied?  Is your
MTA configured to allow non-ASCII characters? 

Typically, majordomo could care less what is in the "BODY" of a message.

Is your global "majordomo.cf" catching "TABOO" regular expressions?  Is
the problem specific to one list, or all your lists?  Have you tried to
send a message with foreign characters to another list to be certain it
is not a configuration issue?

Tell us more so we can help you more.
