Implicit destination means that the lists posting address was not found
in the To/Cc headers (nothing to do with Bcc other than that would be a
way to generate a message to the list without the list address in
To/Cc).

This can be down to several things:-
  - use of the list name in the "wrong" domain on a multi-domained
    host.

  - Having the host-name-this-list-prefers set wrong (tends to
    catch all messages).

  - the message passing through an alias or similar so the header
    address does not match

  - bcc or spam or something which does not put the real recipients
    in the headers.

The first few of these can be dealt with by setting the list name
aliases in the privacy options

With respect of the notifications, check in the "General options" page
the "Should administrator get immediate notice of new requests, as well
as daily notices about collected ones? " option.
