The problem is that the 'brad-test' alias is delivering messages to the
'brad-test-digestify' alias _before_ they've gone through 'resend'.
This is bad two ways:

  - it queues messages into the digest work area before 'resend' has a
    chance to check them for taboo strings, administriva and so on, and

  - it queues your approved messages into the digest work area before
    'resend' has had the opportunity to remove the "Approved: password"
    line.
    
Change your aliases to:

  brad-test: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l brad-test 
      brad-test-list"
  brad-test-list: :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/brad-test,brad-test-digestify

so that messages only get added to the digest work area when they are
distributed to the list, and the problem will go away.

Mike.
