Re: Reply to: not working

Is the list "director-list" or "directors-list" - you have it as the former 
in your footer and the latter in the reply_to

Also, personally I find it much easier to keep all the file names the same 
as the list.  In your config file you are mixing "directors" and 
"director(s)-list"

On another note, I had a problem very similar to this recently setting up a 
new list.  None of the changes I was making in the config file were taking 
effect when posting.  I figured out the my aliases for the list were not 
correct.

Double check the aliases if you can against a known working example.

This is what I use as a template for lists with an archive and digest:
test: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test test-outgoing,nobody'"
test-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/test, test-archive, 
test-digestify
test-digestify: "|/usr/local/majordomo/digest -r -C -l test-digest 
test-digest-outgoing"
test-digest: test
test-digest-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/test-digest
test-archive:  "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper archive -f 
/usr/local/majordomo/archives/test/test -a -M"
