True, if that's where you define as their location.  You define it in the .cf
file for majordomo or for the specific domain if you have .cf files on a virtual
site basis.

On the RaQ2, majordomo is used internally by the Cobalt server.  It may or may
not be for the RaQ3.  If it is, it would be wise to install a second copy of
majordomo and use it instead if that's an option for you.  You can grab 1.94.5
from http://www.greatcircle.com/majordomo/.

My default .cf file didn't even have that if/else control structure (version
1.94.5).  I defined a different .cf files for each virtual domain, with listdir
defined as $listdir = "$homedir/domain.tld"; (where domain.tld is your virtual
host).
