When you add a List-ID statement to a list header file, you need to ask the
list server administrator to add list-related aliases for the new list name
to the list server's mail server configuration. Based on your description of
the problem, I would guess that the necessary aliases have not been created.

Based on your description of the problem, I would guess that you have more
than one email address, that the address you use as your return address is
specified as an owner on these lists, but that the address you use to login
to the LISTSERV web page is not specified as an owner of the problem lists.
