The errors are nothing to do with MailScanner (which does not get involved
with message delivery at all anyway).

You need to add "majordom" to the class T in your sendmail.cf file so that
sendmail "trusts" majordom and allows it to change the "From" address in
mail it creates. You probably already have lines in your sendmail.cf that say
         Troot
         Tdaemon
         Tuucp
Just add
         Tmajordom
to that list and restart both sendmail processes.
