So perhaps what is happening is the message is being held for approval
because it is from a non-list member and a notice is being sent to the
list owner (you?)

Maybe because it is sending something back to the sender (root) and
that goes to you. Maybe because it is sending to the list-owner and
that is you.

What is the content of the message that it sends to you?

Did you add any members? Are those members regular or digest?
