No, you're missing something about how to write the aliases for your
MTA, and it's spelled out in the docs.
If you have your list configured like this:
mylist: :include:/path/to/mj/lists/mylist
...then what piece of software would ever be invoked to process the mail
such that anything in the configuration file would actually ever happen?
If, however, your aliases are of a form like:
mylist: "|/path/to/mj/wrapper resend -h yourhost.dom.ain -l mylist
mylist-users,nobody"
mylist-users: :include:/path/to/mj/lists/mylist
...then the resend program gets invoked and makes all of the changes you
need.
