That bit of code is fixed in 1.90, and reads:
if ( &cf_ck_bool($list,"private_which")
&& (! &is_list_member($reply_to, $listdir, $list))) {
# skip private lists that the requestor isn't a member of
next;
}
Please feel free to forward bug reports for majordomo 1.6x to me. I
will make sure that the relevent code bits in 1.9x get fixed if the
bug has been carried over. Note that I am not really answering
questions about 1.62 or ealier. I defer to Brent for answers to those
questions.
