It could be that mail is not coming to your [email protected] address
very often.  Any time majordomo sends a response, it sets the sender to
majordomo-owner.  Your logwatch entry shows this happened twice in what
I assume to be a 24 hour period.  You might want to check your majordomo
Log file and your sendmail log to verify.  Using the steps I suggested
previously, you will get rid of the errors in the logwatch report, but
that does not give you the warm fuzzy feeling that everything is really
OK.
