I think there is something else going on, because the -request address  
should work.  I'd suggest double checking your aliases.   
(~mailman/bin/genaliases can generate the proper list for you.)

That is a known bug in Mailman 2.1.5.  A patch is available:
    
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? 
func=detail&aid=1045909&group_id=103&atid=300103>
or you can upgrade to the Mailman 2.1.6beta version where it has  
already been fixed.
