Ask your ISP if they understand what this set of aliases does.

nobody: /dev/null
test:  "|/mj1945/wrapper resend -l test test-outgoing, nobody"
owner-test:     dan,
test-outgoing:  :include:/mj1945/lists/test", test-archiver, test-digestify
owner-test-outgoing:    owner-test
test-archiver:  "|/mj1945/wrapper archive2.pl -f /mj1945/archives/test -a -M"
test-digestify: "|/mj1945/wrapper digest -r -C -l test-digest test-digest-outgoing, nobody"
#test-request:  "|/mj1945/wrapper request-answer test"
test-request:   "|/mj1945/wrapper majordomo -l test"
test-approval:  owner-test
test-digest:    test
owner-test-digest:      owner-test
test-digest-outgoing:  :include:/mj1945/lists/test-digest,
owner-test-digest-outgoing:     owner-test
test-digest-request:    "|/mj1945/wrapper majordomo -l test-digest"
test-digest-approval:   owner-test

These aliases have dependencies on settings in majordomo.cf of course,
but just to give you an overview;

All messages sent to the list address test, are piped through the resend
script so settings in test.config will be used.

Resend evaluates the message and processes/forwards messages to the
test-outgoing alias (address).

All messages sent to the test-outgoing address are also delivered to the
list subscribers, the archiver alias and the digestify alias.

The archiver alias appends messages to a file.
The digestify alias keeps copies of the message in a special work directory
until a setting in the test-digest.config file is reached, or you execute
a mkdigest command against that list.

Any message sent directly to the test-digest alias (address) are redirected
to the proper alias of test where the message can be properly processed as
above.
