# Actually you could always get it because resend has the outgoing list

Depends on the invocation of "resend". If you use the "@argfile"
mechanism (which allows you to put all the arguments for "resend" into
a file, then reference the filename), then you can put the outgoing
list name in the argfile, where sendmail won't see it.
I added the argfile capability because I had several lists whose
"resend" arguments were growing beyond 256 characters, but it's also
very effective at hiding information from sendmail.
For instance, the "majordomo-users" aliases here are:
majordomo-users: "|/usr/local/mail/majordomo/wrapper resend
@/usr/local/mail/lists/majordomo-users.resend"
majordomo-users-outgoing:
:include:/usr/local/mail/lists/majordomo-users
and the file /usr/local/mail/lists/majordomo-users.resend contains:
-a /usr/local/mail/lists/majordomo-users.passwd
-b Majordomo-Users-Approval@GreatCircle.COM
-p bulk
-M 10000
-l Majordomo-Users
-f Majordomo-Users-Owner
-h GreatCircle.COM
-s
majordomo-users-outgoing
