All lists are not automatically archived and/or digested. There must
be some controls in place to know which are applicable; these
controls come in the form of "archive=yes/no" and "digest=yes/no"
keywords that have been added to Majordomo. So -a is only half the
story. You also need a list with archive=yes set. This is evidenced 
in the snippet: 	if (&cf_ck_bool($list,'archive') && $opt_a) {

Digest support is similar, but be forewarned it probably doesn't
work. We don't run digests at my site, so I have had no reason to
validate the code. The whole reason mj_build_aliases is in /contrib/
is because it hasn't been sanity-checked by enough people. If I had
confidence that it worked for more than just me, I would make it a
more visible component rather than buried in the /contrib/ section.
