The "owner-whatever" lines are used by Sendmail (at least some
version), to control who gets messages about problems with the
"whatever" alias.

Majordomo doesn't use "whatever-owner" itself; it only uses
"whatever" and "whatever-approval", plus the addresses defined for
$whoami and $whoami_owner in the majordomo.cf file.

In the sample.aliases file, "sample-owner" is a place holder.  If it
makes everything more clear, replace all occurrences of "sample-owner"
with "sample-user".
