Do the following:

# grep aliases.majordomo /etc/sendmail.cf

If you get a line that looks something like this:

O AliasFile=/etc/aliases.majordomo

Then do:

# newaliases

and you should get something like:
/etc/aliases: 54 aliases, longest 34 bytes, 1267 bytes total
/etc/aliases.majordomo: 120 aliases, longest 83 bytes, 6320 bytes total
                                                                        
If you do, then majordomo IS reading your aliases.majordomo file.

Majordomo is NOT a continuously running daemon.  It's simply a number of
perl files which process each incoming email individually.

So it shouldn't appear in your "ps aux" output.
