Re: owner-group getting emails

Sendmail uses the owner- prefix to notify, or as last resort, for delivery
to the group name when there are problems, even outside of majordomo list
configuration.  Could this be what is happening based on the crash or not
quite perfect (dns problems) rebuild, and you are still seeing side effects
of mail that was still queued up?  Do the sendmail or majordomo log files
have any hints or indications of failed deliveries that might apply to your
current situation?  What about the "Received:" headers of the messages you
are receiving?  Do these show original recipient vs. final delivery being
your mailbox?
