Let me clarify that in excruciating detail (I know *my* 25,000+ users
have continual problems with this):

Try sending a 'release' command *from the address you think is postmaster*,
and see if *the address listserv sends the reply to* is listed in the output.

We've had *LOTS* of problems with list owners and subscribers who are
listed as [log in to unmask], but their mail actually shows up as
[log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] - which of course
doesn't match as far as Listserv is concerned....

Occasionally, we get bit by the fact that Listserv tends to key off the
Sender: header instead of From: - so if the From: contains the correct
Postmaster address, but Sender: is something else, it won't work....
