This may be a naive question, but how can that be?

Majordomo doesn't actually get involved in mail delivery (at least the
versions I've used).  It just maintains an address file which is read by
sendmail (or whatever MTA you're using) to do the actual delivery.  So what
does it mean to say that majordomo isn't efficient at bulk mailing?
