Good, that's what's supposed to happen.

Yup.

Perhaps because there's a typo in your blah-list-digest-outgoing
alias?  It says:

  blah-list-digest-outgoing::include:/usr/local/majordomo/digests/blah-list-digest

Is the member list really in digests/blah-list-digest, or is it
actually in lists/blah-list-digest where member lists usually live?

If that's not the problem then examining your mailer log should give
you some clues.

BTW, using "predictable" outbound alias names like list-outgoing is a
bit of a security risk; people who send directly to that alias will
bypass any checks you've configured through 'resend'.  No biggy if
these lists are hosted on an internal machine unreachable from the
outside world, but a possible spam facilitator if that alias is
reachable from the outside world.
