I'll bet your configuration has LIST_ADDRESS = '' :-) The defaults were
changed from short name + BITNET address to long name + Internet address
to facilitate the migration to the Internet.

I'm not sure I understand what you did. You have to tell LMail to forward
mail for the long address to the short address, and servers running the
base 1.8a or older may forward the mail back if you don't use the
short+BITNET combination (this is not a new problem, what is new is that
this became the default option).
