Subject: moderator/resend can be bypassed in majordomo

G'day,

There is a problem with trying to enforce moderation of mailing lists
in majordomo.  It is possible to bypass the resend program, and
hence the moderator.

eg. here is the setup for one of our lists:

exec: "|/pub/majordomo/wrapper resend -l exec -h cairo.anu.edu.au exec-outgoing"
exec-outgoing: :include:/pub/majordomo/spool/lists/exec,
  "|/pub/majordomo/wrapper archive2.pl -f
     /pub/majordomo/spool/digest/exec/archive -a -m"
owner-exec: metta
owner-exec-outgoing: owner-exec
exec-request: "|/pub/majordomo/wrapper request-answer exec"
exec-approval: metta

Now, by sending a message to "exec-outgoing" instead of "exec" the
resend program is not run.  (Hence moderation doesn't work along
with other resend facilities)

Any ideas?

Thanks heaps - oke
