First of all, the alias <listname>-owner will send mail to the list of
admins that you have on the General Options page.  The aliases for
"admin" and "owner" should be setup as:

test1-admin:   "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin test1"
test1-owner:   "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner test1"

Once these are setup in your aliases files, then the mail will go to the
proper folks.

If (for aesthetic reasons) you want the actual email addresses of the
folks displayed, they you can edit the footer and delete the standard
Mailman blather and replace it with your own text.

Hope that is helpful - Jon Carnes
