Done.  We seem to be under a major spam attack -- 7 spams to 
list-managers overnight (and counting)... oddly they seem to come from
different places if you trace back the Received lines, but I still don't
believe in coincidences. 

Unfortunately the mechanism to do this in Majordomo is slightly clunky,
so bear with us for a while until this is sorted out.  Some posts from
legitimate members may be delayed if their address does not match, etc.
