Thanks again Mark. Yes, I contributed to the problem because I like to use MLDfamily (mixed case) in the user viewable emails and tend to follow that behind the scenes. Right now I have manually entered the aliases into virtual-mailman. You indicated this could be a problem with the next run of genaliases. The original list and the new one are both at lists.MLDfamily.org. (note CAPS). I ran genaliases and the list remained intact with entries updated in virtual-mailman. Should I stand down and assume my rickety path to functionality will hold up - or should I delete the list and start over? If I start over I would not want to upset the apple cart on the original list at lists.MLDfamily.org so I would use that mixed case virtual host for the re-creation of the new list. I promise if I ever add any new virtual domains everything will be lower case!
