Why not consider modifying the mm-handler Perl script. It currently knows how to deliver to Mailman lists and knows what Mailman lists there are by looking up Mailman file structures on disk (see line 203 onwards of the code) and then running the Mailman delivery wrapper. I do not user majordomo, but presumably an equivalent piece of code to confirm and deliver to majordomo's lists could be fashioned and added.

btw: do beware the existing latent defect of the mm-handlers failure to properly check the return code when it call close on the pipe being used to do the delivery, which can lead to silently lost/undelivered messages - see next sentence for a hint at what needs to be done. Also consider that mm-handler's home grown bounce generator can be substituted by simply having it return the appropriate exit status to sendmail, which will then generate the bounce message in it normal way. You could also consider switching to a Python equivalent of mm-handler without the defect. See:

Maybe I'll get this right really tired at analyzing sendmail crap. Ok,
as per Brad Knowles I am not using aliases for mailman but mm-handler
and an sendmail.m4 with adding an mailer called Mmmhandler,..... as per
the mailman documentation. Howerver in the F=<snip> I added the 'A' flag
to do alias expansion but mailman seems to still fire off. I really need
to use the mm-handler I need to move away from have sudo access as root
and my time being sucked into mail list management it sucks.

Sorry, I'll be a little clearer this time here is what I am trying to
do. Please let me know if this is possible.
<somelist>@my.domain

Based on <somelist> I scan the aliases file for majordomo stuff then If
I do not find nothing go to mailman and see if list is in mailman. I
really do not want to do different domains if at all possible. I should
be able to use the same domain. All using the most friendly mta's ever
built sendmail<grin>

Queston, I have been unsuccessful at getting mailman and majordomo to
run on the same host. I am using sendmail and the mailman mm-handler.
Mailman is working great its just that majordomo is not. I did put an
'A' in the mailer table for alias expansion but that does not seem to
work completely.

If some body has done this and can share this info that would be great.
I have been scouring the web to no avail. I need to transition majordomo
out but I can not do it abruptly.
