You don't have to accept email for that domain as local (listed in
sendmail.cw or class W).  I have much the same setup for
netscum.org.uk and the people who do your email redirect actually
rewrite the smtp envelope to whatever domain you specified.  So as
long as sendmail accepts whatever email address you've had it
rewritten to you'll be fine.

Majordomo will dealt with whatever lists it's given to my knowledge
(when you set up the alias remember you tell it what email address
it's serving).  It will deal with list@box.demon.co.uk and
list@box.co.uk in the same way if someone rewrites the smtp envelope
box.co.uk to box.demon.co.uk.
