I think the correct solition is to put mailnull user into majordom
group in /etc/group 

Well my majordomo just started working when I put mailnull into majordom
group. I didnt need to touch anything about /usr/libexec/sm.bin

By the way I only made simple commands lists etc. work so I dont know how
much functionality I have yet.

Even though sendmail man pages for smrsh suggests that the commands should
be put into /usr/libexec/sm.bin somehow my solution is also working
perhaps because I have the full path after | in aliases?
