Thanks, all. It appears when the list was created the "make listname=" entry was never done.  So in effect the list never existed. Sorry for all the confusion (on my part).

And that SMTP is not your primary MX SMTP server:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

Default Server:  vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net
Address:  4.2.2.2

Non-authoritative answer:
listserv.jmu.edu        canonical name = it-listserv1.jmu.edu
it-listserv1.jmu.edu    MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = et.jmu.edu
it-listserv1.jmu.edu    MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = it-listserv1.jmu.edu
