Looks to me like you have not specifed a person (address) for list approval
messages or as  the list owner. Some sample entries in an alias file is 
found below. If I delete them, I get the "Aliasing/Forwarding Loop 
Broken". There needs to be someone designated to receive messages when 
someone subscribes. This does not have to be a moderated list. 

beta-approval: freesem@fcmail.state.or.us
beta-owner: freesem@fcmail.state.or.us
owner-beta-owner: freesem@fcmail.state.or.us
