I have a small list that lately has gotten a few messages of the form:

>Confirmation of reading: your message -

These seem to be generated by the PEGASUS mailer,
maybe in response to a request for confirmation
maybe only in response to a request for confirmation from another
PEGUSUS generated message.  I really dont know the details of this 
mechanism.

The list with the problem runs under majordomo.  Curiously my big list
under Listproc has not had this problem.

Has anyone found a general solution to keeping the list cluttered
with these (short of filtering messages that start with
"Confirmation of Reading" )

Fred
