  I think you've hit the nail on the head.  Ask your host to read a little
more thoroughly the NEWLIST document.  In the part where it describes the
aliases which must be defined for a new list, it gives first a very
simplistic set of examples, then goes right on to a *second* example which
includes the resend script.  Use the second example.  If you want to set
up digests or archiving, even deeper reading is required.

Quoting NEWLIST:
 These would look like this:

      test:       :include:/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/lists/test
      owner-test:  you,
      test-request:  "|/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/wrapper request-answer
test"
      test-approval: you

   It's more likely that the outgoing messages to the list will be
   passed through "resend" to catch Majordomo commands, as well as
   give other useful features.  A typical set of aliases without anything
   fancy, such as archiving or digesting, would look like this:

       test:    "|/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/wrapper resend -l test
test-list"
       test-list:  :include:/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/lists/test
       owner-test:   you,
       test-owner:   you
       test-request: "|/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/wrapper majordomo -l
test"

Microsoft has just announced it is renaming Windows NT version 5 to
"Windows 2000."
Is that the ultimate millennium bug or what?
