You're right; it was an alias problem.  We're using
/etc/aliases, but there's also a virtual user table
that had an old, spurious alias which happened to
match the name of the list that we just created, so
all mail to the list itself was going to the named
user in the alias, who happened to be the list owner.

It hadn't occurred to me to check the "normal" sendmail
setup, since I knew that was working okay: after all,
lots of mail was being sent and received all the time! :)

Thanks for your help!

Sorry for raising the noise level with things that've
nothing to do with Mailman.
