IMO, it's nothing to worry about since it's most likely related to running a
majordomo mailing list and is therefore perfectly normal behavior.
majordomo sets the email's owner to the owner specified in the sendmail
config file for the mailing list.  In your case the list is owned by admin.
To get a better picture of what's happening do something like the following
to look through your log file:

grep -n -A 5 -B 5 "clone" /var/log/maillog | more

The above line will search through the log file for lines containing "clone"
then display matching lines and the 5 lines immediately before and after it.
