The great thing about majordomo is that it _does_ pick up the sub & unsub 
requests and sends them to me rather than the list address. Something of 
an inconvenence when it sends me a legit message when the 's' words have 
been used in regard to something else, but it does help enormously not to 
have these requests going to the list.
