[Mailman-Developers] bounces going to wrong list's admin

Hi,

I've seen reference to this problem on mailman users and dev
and thought I'd try report it as well.

When the monthly reminders go out, a lot of the messages
bounce.  These bounce messages should go the the list's
admin address.  However we're seeing way too many go to
one particular list admin.  (Luckily this person is very
patient.:)

I've appended one of the bounce messages from a bad listA
address, that arrived at the listB admin's address.

Our setup:
  Mailman version 2.0.13
  Python 2.2.1 (#1, Apr 20 2002, 13:05:01) [C] on sunos5
  Postfix snapshot 1.1.11-20020717  (no virtual servers)
  Solaris 8

Aliases are of this form for our lists, where wrapper
is in our sm.bin directory as a symlink to ~mailman/mail/wrapper

## listA mailing list
## created: 08-Jun-2001 mailman
listA:                   "|/wrapper post listA"
listA-admin:             "|/wrapper mailowner listA"
listA-request:           "|/wrapper mailcmd listA"
listA-owner:             listA-admin


## listB mailing list
## created: 06-Dec-2001 mailman
listB:              "|/wrapper post listB"
listB-admin:        "|/wrapper mailowner listB"
listB-request:      "|/wrapper mailcmd listB"
listB-owner:        listB-admin
