No, Majordomo cannot do this for you "out-of-the-box" as it wasn't designed
for this sort of thing -- it is best to use Majordomo to send the *same*
message to many people. What your described need requires a bit of programming
and sends a customized message to each recipient -- I've built exactly what
you are looking for, but it doesn't use (nor does it require) a mailing list
manager like Majordomo.
We can discuss this further over private email if you would like as it is
off-topic for this list.
Hope that helps,
Thanks,
Adi
