How and where do I do this?

Not sure how to do this

I am getting the posts I send to the main box but no digests

Here is the aliases lines I added:
test2: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test2 -h sca-caid.org 
test2-outgoing"
test2-outgoing: :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/test2,test2-digestify
test2-list: :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/test2
owner-test2: dog_lover_2@hotmail.com
test2-owner: dog_lover_2@hotmail.com
test2-approval: dog_lover_2@hotmail.com
test2-request: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l test2"
test2-digestify: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper digest -r -C -l test2-digest 
test2-digest-outgoing"
test2-digest: test2
test2-digest-outgoing: :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/test2-digest
test2-digest-list: :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/test2-digest
owner-test2-digest: test2-owner
test2-digest-owner: test2-owner
test2-digest-approval: dog_lover_2@hotmail.com
test2-digest-request: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l 
test2-digest"

Any help would be greatly appreciated
