When you delete the lists, the aliases should go with them. Except for the
'listserv' and if you delete that one, the List Server app will re-create
it.
Creating a List causes the creatino of 3 aliases: listname, listname-owner and
owner-listname.
At the very least, I'd update your system to the 4.07 patch from our web site.
To get V5.05, you would have to purchase a Service Agreement. Doing this will
not 'fix' your problem.
