Majordomo is available for anonymous FTP from FTP.GreatCircle.COM,
file "pub/majordomo.tar.Z".
Majordomo includes a "request-recording" program that I set up to
answer each "-request" alias. This program sends back a recording,
customized to the list in question (which is specified on the command
line) that tells somebody how to use Majordomo to subscribe or
unsubscribe to that list, or how to contact a human if that's what
they need.
Here's the alias for list-managers-request:
list-managers-request: "|/usr/local/mail/majordomo/wrapper request-recording list-managers"
And here's what you get if you send something to list-managers-request:
From: list-managers-request@GreatCircle.COM
To: brent@GreatCircle.COM
Subject: Your mail to list-managers-request@GreatCircle.COM
In-Reply-To: <9210281727.AA12534@mycroft.GreatCircle.COM>, from
brent@GreatCircle.COM (Brent Chapman)
Reply-To: list-managers-approval@GreatCircle.COM

All subscription requests concerning mailing lists on this machine
