I believe that the maintainer of that FAQ is on this list, so hopefully we
will learn about its disposition soon.

In the exim FAQ (which is there) see Q0902
Q0902: I have set $mailer in majordomo.cf, but it still isn't setting
the sender correctly in the messages it sends.
A0902: Make sure you have got the quoting correct in the $mailer
setting. For example,
$mailer = "$sendmail_command -oi -oee -f$sender\@lists.mydomain.de";
is not correct. It needs three backslashes, not one, and the $ at the
start of $sender has to be escaped with a backslash.
But I actually suspect that your problem is that you forgot to list
majodom as a trusted user. (You have to do with with any MTA, to do this
with exim have something like
trusted_users = root:exim:majordom
in the main part of your configuration file. These are the users who are
allowed to change the sender with the -f command line option.
