Actually all from:
Unsubscribed notices (When admin unsubscribe them)
Subscribe confirmations (to new subscriber and confirm to admin

Attempted posts are not bounced as I had set "discard"
I was going to set to hold and try again but have not yet done so.

Don't think that is quite right, example is

Evaporating

However on closer look at mail log I find for malfunctioning list:
sendmail[1824]: k2KKr0dL001820: to="|/var/mailman/mail/mailman request
My2ndListName", ctladdr=<My2ndListName-request at Domain.name> (8/0),
delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=32372, dsn=2.0.0,
stat=Sent

WHERE <<My2ndListName-request at Domain.name> COULD BE CULPRIT AS SHOULD IT NOT
BE <My2ndListNamet at Domain.name> WITHOUT "-REQUEST"?

If that is it, where does <My2ndListName-request at Domain.name> reside that I
might correct it?

Am I even close?
