Majordomo has to use -f to set the sender address (since it runs under a
suid root wrapper, but needs to send mail as the list owner).

The error looks like a warning about the changing of the sender, which
shouldn't happen (at least I haven't seen it happening on any FBSD install
I've done).  Are you using a sendmail replacement or have you done any
hacks to it ?

Without further thought, I'd guess that the user that majordomo is running
as is not set to be a trusted user by your MTA.  If it's running as root
though, this should be the default.
