Well, I happened to have a resend alias commented out that I never
used...once I removed my original alias (direct listname alias, no resend)
and enabled the resend alias, it works!

Thanks for the response.  I looked all over and never found anything that
indicated that resend had to be used in this fashion..I thought it was an
option.

Here's the resend alias I am using now:

listname: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l listname
listname-outgoing,nobody"
listname-outgoing: :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/listname

Problem resolved.  Thank you Dan.

Rick

If "resend" is not used on the alias to define your listname address,
the config file will only be used when majordomo is responding to the
join and remove commands.  In other words, listname-list @
 some .
 domain
should be a protected alias that is only referenced by the alias that
calls the resend command.

To answer a question with a question, what does your listname alias
look like?
