It doesn't matter if you enter the addresses on the General Options
page or on the moderator detail page. Once an address or addresses are
entered either place, they should appear both places (you may have to
"reload" the General Options page after returning from details to see
the change) as they are both the same list attribute.

If you as "owner" are getting the notices, the notices are also being
sent to the addresses listed as "moderator".

What happens to them after that depends on a lot of things.

Notices are actually sent to the listname-owner address and then
received by Mailman and resent to the owners and moderators. You can
test by just sending an ordinary email to your listname-owner at ...
address. If the moderators receive that, but they don't receive
moderation notices, it may be because the moderation notices have a
"Precedence: bulk" header which may cause the recipient server to
discard them.
