Let's get a little more specific so I an quit making assumptions.
Your list-name = a?
What does ($homedir =) in your majordomo.cf?
What does ($listdir =) in your majordomo.cf?
<$listdir>/a.config is what has the
noadvertise <<END
/.*/
END
right?
The a.config file is user and group majordom?
The permissions on a.config are 644? or stricter?
In your /etc/aliases (or equivalent) you have;
a: "|<$homedir>/wrapper resend -l a a-outgoing"
a-outgoing: :include:<$listdir>/a

This should answer your other question too. :)

Have a good weekend,
