Two things to check:

1.  Your list alias is using resend
list: "|/majordomo/wrapper resend -l list list-outoing"
2.  Your $listdir/sender.list is 644 majordomo.majordomo

Have you tried using a different filename?

While we are in group discussion mode here in the users list, I would 
like to suggest that we, as users, standardize a filename for this
type of scenario.  I recommend $list.post for a static group that will
never change, or $list-post (similar to the -digest file) for posting
restictions that are subject to change more than once per year.

This keeps us all thinking alike, and allows/prepares us for something
that could be integrated for ease of management into another minor
revision of majordomo.

All thoughts and ideas are welcome,
Dan Liston
