The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[John Dalbec <address@concealed>]

That was apparently part of the moderation process.  The messages did 
not appear in the archive.  The list aliases are set up; however, I had 
removed the default "sympa" alias so the QUIET DISTRIBUTE commands were 
not processed?  I recreated that alias according to your instructions, 
but if I try resending the message I get:
List '' does not exist.
I tried sending the message to the -request alias but that just 
forwarded it to the list owner.  How can I get the messages moderated?
Thanks,
John
