I am not familiar with majordomo II, and your .config file setting does
look familiar, but I still can't tell if you are running 1.94.5.

Majordomo 1.94.5 will show you lists you are subscribed to regardless of
the advertise/noadvertise settings.  Do make sure however, that you are
not using /.*/ in both places at once.  That defeats the purpose.  The
munging of domain names could also come into play, where your addresses
in subdomain.domain.com appear to majordomo as domain.com.  Lastly, to
test the noadvertise capability, make sure any custom setting in your
mail client is not setting a sender or reply-to address in the headers
that would tell majordomo to advertise the lists to you.  Also important
but I have not looked in quite some time, is the owner/moderator/approver
settings that may contain your address.
