Did you add the new address as an owner to the list of addresses 
authorized to post?

Did it bounce from majordomo? The portion of the emails describing the 
error would help.

This looks fine.

How do you have the list set up in terms of the addresses that are 
authorized to post?  From list.config:

# restrict_post        [restrict_post] (undef) <resend>
# If defined, only addresses listed in these files (colon or space
# separated) can post to the mailing list. By default, these files
# are relative to the lists directory. These files are also checked
# when get_access, index_access, info_access, intro_access,
# which_access, or who_access is set to 'list'. This is less useful
# than it seems it should be since there is no way to create these
# files if you do not have access to the machine running resend.
# This mechanism will be replaced in a future version of
# majordomo/resend.

restrict_post =

Hope that helps.
