It's not real clear to me how you went about creating these lists.  I 
use "majorcool", but had to hand-write a utility to do the actual 
list creation for me.

owner-listname is just a sendmail alias.  My suspicion is that 
whatever utility you used to create your lists was set up by your ISP 
to forward the owner and approval things to some default address.  
You'll probably have to contact them about forwarding to the correct 
place.

I'm guessing your ISP created the list creation routines.  To the 
best of my knowledge, majordomo doesn't have anything to do with list 
creation, alias setup, etc; this is all done manually or by writing 
scripts.
