Cancel that.  It isn't a Majordomo problem.  I just took a closer look at
the error message resulting from majordomo's attempt to deliver to Robert
R. Davies@depts2@sweltdmk. It's from a brain-dead mail transport agent
running on a Banyan Vines system.  It's sending errors to the original
message's "From:" address rather than to the "Sender:" or envelope sender
address like a well-behaved mail MTA should do.
