majordomo, sendmail 8.12, and aliases issues

We have been running majordomo 1.94.5 successfully for a long time using 
sendmail 8.11.x. We recently switched to 8.12.11, and now are having an 
issue with alias list expansion.

listname: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l listname listname-out"
listname-out: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/listname

When an email is sent to the list, sendmail tries to deliver the email to:
[email protected]

instead of parsing the include list for sending to the subscribers. It 
seems the MSP/MSA portion with submit.cf is causing the problem. We can 
work around it by changing the $mailer command in majordomo.cf by adding:
-Am -OQueueDirectory=/usr/local/majordomo/queue

to force sendmail.cf local delivery and setting a queue that majordomo has 
write permission on. However, I would think the system should work without 
having to go this route. Any ideas? Running RHEL 3 with default sendmail 
configuration, and standard majordomo 1.94.5.

If the -Am method is the only way to make it work, are there any drawbacks 
or problems with using this method?

Thanks.
