# I just installed and started playing with majordomo.  Its a
# pretty slick package and I'd like to use it here, but there
# are two things that are staring me in the face right now and
# I'm wondering if they've been addressed by anyone else:

Thanks!

# (1) I don't want people from an outside domain (i.e. outside
#     the company) to be able to ask questions of majordomo and 
#     receive answers.  I could hack the aliases file on our
#     Internet mail relay servers but would prefer not to do that.
#     It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to to and I'm
#     wondering if anybody else has done it or given it any thought.

A number of folks have asked for this or something similar.  What I've
considered doing is setting up to eval a per-list or per-command file.
Folks could implement whatever local policy they wanted in those
files.  If the file didn't exist, Majordomo would use some rational
default.

I haven't figured out the exact mechanism yet; this is just sort of a
vague "gee, it would be nice if ..." idea that this point.
