Take a look at the archives for this mailing list from September 1998, in
particular take a look at a message from Philip Hazel explicitly about
a way to test and debug such conditionals dated September 9.
He suggests using debug_print to do something like
debug_print = "received_protocol=$received_protocol \
sender_ident=$sender_ident"
And
debug_print = "${if eq {$received_protocol} {local} \
{${if eq {$sender_ident}{majordom} \
{true} {false} }} {false} }"
If the former is what you expect ("local" and "majordom"), but the latter
is "false" then that narrows down the problem to the logic of the
conditional.
Please do post what you find. I am the person who posted a query very
much like yours back in September, and got a number of very helpful
replies, but didn't persue them (I was then running a version of exim
which didn't support debug_print.) And of course send a note the
maintainer of the exim+majordomo FAQ.
