Does this email come from the same server as your majordomo?  Is any
other user of the system having trouble getting mail to the outside
world?  As the root user, can you "mail -s test mailbox @
 other .
 domain"?

The real question I am asking, is if your sendmail is working.  If not,
there is no way for majordomo to work, because it depends entirely on
your MTA for email delivery.  Mail might come in ok, and work between
internal mailboxes, without being able to talk to the rest of the 'net.
