My husband (one of the "official" majordomo "enhancers") has hacked a
similar thing into our version of majordomo -- it simply catches things
sent "To:" too many places/addresses.  The vast majority of spams simply
have an excessively long "To:" and "cc" line.  Is that more like what you
are talking about with Listserv?
