You can tweak regexps forever without fixing this problem. If mail is
addressed to the list-outgoing alias Majordomo (actually Resend) doesn't
come into play at all. The alias expands directly to your list.
Is your MTA Sendmail? If so, do the following in virtrusertable:
list-outgoing@yourdomain.com error:nouser User unknown
Of course substitute the actual list name for "list", and your domain name
for "yourdomain.com". This tells Sendmail to reject mail addressed to
the list-outgoing alias, but the alias still works when called from the
list alias.
