You could script the addition of @your.domain to the lists fairly easily,
which should have been maintained this way in the first place.  Majordomo
1.94.4 and sendmail 8.8 did not enforce fully qualified email names in 
list memberships.  Here is something that might give you a starting point.
Assuming your lists are clean in all other respects;

#This line searches fully qualified email addresses
grep "@[^.]+\.[^.]+" $LISTNAME > /tmp/$LISTNAME.new
#This line searches partially qualified email addresses
grep "@[^.]+$" | sed -e 's/$/.domain.edu/' >> /tmp/$LISTNAME.new
#This line searches unqualified "local" email addresses
grep -v "@" $LISTNAME | sed -e 's/$/@domain.edu/' >> /tmp/$LISTNAME.new
#This line provides a numeric comparison to see if you have the same 
#number of lines in your original list file and the new temp file.
wc -l $LISTNAME /tmp/$LISTNAME.new
#if both files have the same number of lines,
#sort -u /tmp/$LISTNAME.new > $LISTNAME; rm /tmp/$LISTNAME.new

If you have been in the habit of allowing commented email addresses such as; 
"Dan Liston" <dliston@sonny.org>
or 
(Liston, Dan) <dliston@sonny.org>
You will have to adjust the above regular expressions to allow for these as 
well.
