I added this to the majordomo.cf file right after the <$filedir = "$listdir";>
line in the file.

It did not help.

If I understand this, it is stating explicatly (sp) what lists to create in
the archive section. I would rather ot have to edit th .cf every time I
want to add a new list. And no, I didn't try this tack.

For, we simply disabled the archive lines from the 'etc/aliases' file so we
could get our lists going.

But now I get this...
