You should not have 2 of the same line in your /etc/aliases file. The
aliases are not case sensitive, and these are regarded as duplicates.
This goes for the 2 lines above and first 2 lines below this comment.

The line above should have ,nobody before the ending quotation mark,
and the ,hans_test-archive should be removed from that alias and added
to the hans_test-list: alias.
> hans_test-archive: "|/home/majordomo/1.94.5/wrapper archive2.pl -f /home/majordomo/1.94.5/lists/hans_test.archive/archive -D -a"
Just so you know what the above line is doing, I thought I would show
you this snippet from the archive2.pl file itself.
# archive -f <archive> {-u|-a} [-d|-m|-y] [file ...]
# -f <archive> REQUIRED; specifies base file name for archive
# -u Input is a UNIX archive (separated by "From " lines) to split
# -a Input is a message to append to archive
# -d Archive file is <archive>.YYMMDD
# -D Archive file is <archive>.YYYYMMDD
# -m Archive file is <archive>.YYMM
# -M Archive file is <archive>.YYYYMM
# -y Archive file is <archive>.YY
# -Y Archive file is <archive>.YYYY
# Exactly one of "-u" or "-a" must be specified.
# At most one of "-d", "-D", "-m", "-M", "-y", or "-Y" may be specified;
# if none is specified, archive name is simply <archive>
You are probably not looking for a "daily" archive, unless you expect to
receive hundreds of messages to your list every day. I would use -M instead.
The above line means that you also have these 2 lines in your majordomo.cf;
# $filedir = "$listdir";
# $filedir_suffix = ".archive";
and you expect the file saved in that directory to be named archive.20030903.
The final word "archive" on that line should be hans_test, but that is just a
preference of mine.

The rest of your aliases look functional.

Email addresses, and their aliases, are NOT case sensitive. Majordomo on
the other hand IS filname case sensitive. Make sure the file in your lists
directory is "hans_test" and not "Hans_Test" or anything else with upper
case letters. Even though underscores are allowed, I would get rid of them
too.
The other thing majordomo is sensitive of, it fully qualified domain names.
What MTA are you running? Sendmail? Which version?

Is your sendmail working? Can you send a message to owner-hans_test from
the local machine or across the network, and receive that message at the
email@hansanderson.com address? What do the sendmail logs look like when
you write to majordomo? (/var/log/maillog if you are on linux) Check the
time stamps on the log entries too.
