Thank you Mark. That worked. Do I also have to put the aliases,

old-list-admin
old-list-bounces
old-list-confirm
old-list-join
old-list-leave
old-list-owner
old-list-request
old-list-subscribe
old-list-unsubscribe

that point to,

new-list-admin
new-list-bounces
new-list-confirm
new-list-join
new-list-leave
new-list-owner
new-list-request
new-list-subscribe
new-list-unsubscribe

,respectively? Or does just old-list -> new-list suffice?

Thanks,

LDB
