hi jeffrey,
asking cron to concatenate multiple files to write to the disk every five
minutes - opposed to an integrated capability of majordomo, just reading
files - seems really horrible to me. :)
I was wondering if I was the only people to manage multiple mailing-lists
with majordomo.

people are used to be able to write immediately after receiving the
subscribe confirmation from majordomo.
if I ask for 30 minutes wait, I should ask for 30 hours, the problem for
me is to ask cron to replace a usefull feature, if it exists.
instead there isn't any "clean" way about using majordomo for this, I will
use a trick.
but I do not feel comfortable in rewriting the same file every five - or
thirty - minutes.
