Thank you for doing all the right things before asking - i.e. running a
test with -d9 and supplying enough information about the problem. The
situation is clear enough:

Since the key is "majordomo@???", I deduce that you have set
include_domain on the system_aliases director. That lookup generates

Then, when you come to direct that:

... but it can't find it. That's because:
2. majordomo_site45 -> "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper -v site45 -f www.tfb.net majordomo"
as per virtmap.db> majordomo_site45: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper -v site45 -f www.tfb.net majordomo"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Your mapping file doesn't have the domain in the key. Note the
difference from
1. majordomo@??? -> majordomo_site45
as per virtmap.db> majordomo@???: majordomo_site45
^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^
where you have included the "@tfb.net" in the key.
There are two ways you can solve this:
(a) Include the domain in the key in the virtmap.db file.
(b) Add a second aliasfile director that is identical in configuration,
but does not have include_domain set. This of course will not be as
efficient, because it will do two lookups instead of one.
