    1. Majordomo won't worked after I added the addresses. What gives? - Top

    The Majordomo lists won't work until someone subscribes through email. If the list is composed solely of members signed up through the webgui, Majordomo doesn't capture those addresses as list members until it rehashes after a subscription to the list via email to Majordomo.
