Thanks for that information but I put the hyphen in there for clarity.
The actual list name is:

[email protected]	

(domain slightly changed but not the user part)

It does not have a user associated with it but is configured in the
alias directory.  I can send to it fine (and receive) but can't do
things like austrian-subscribe@..  austrian-help@...   etc.

I also recall reading (but haven't tested) that qmail should handle
user-name by first looking for the user or alias "user-name" and failing
that then look for "user" so I don't see why an actual "list-name" would
fail.  Perhaps an ezmlm limitation.  But that isn't my problem.  I have
no dashes in the actual user name, just the extensions to it.

Thanks,
Tres
