OK, so I didn't understand the question. :-) [I don't know anything
about majordomo, but it seems very odd if it can't generate qualified
addresses. Anybody else on the list care to comment?]

That certainly won't work, since sender addresses in Exim are always
fully qualified as soon as they are received.

I'm still not sure I understand the question. Is it that majordomo is
generating an unqualified *sender* address, or an unqualified
*recipient* address? (I previously thought it was the alias file that
contained unqualified addresses.)

In either case, you could probably find some rewriting rule that helped.
Something along the lines of

*@*  "${if eq{$sender_address}{majordomo@$qualify_domain}\
      {$1@???} fail}" flags


Note the "fail". You don't want to do any rewriting of any other
addresses.
