  First Question, where can I get the book about majordomo???
  
  Second Question:
  I have am recently testing a gateway, Internet Exchange for cc:Mail and the 
  double line between the header and the body is now not there, but now I am 
  getting the following:
     
  This is the messagge I send:
     
          Approved: spim
          Test,
     
          test
     
          test
     
     
  This is what I get back from majordomo:
     
          Test,
          Sender: owner-test@curie.med.harvard.edu 
          Precedence: bulk
     
          test
     
          test
     
  Why am I getting this header info in the body of the message.  It looks as if 
  it is not correctly finding the seperation between the body and the message 
  and the first blank line it comes to happens to be in the body itself.
     
     
  This is the header on the Unix side:
     
  P2500
  T772223723
  DdfAA13096
  S<postmaster@mdomo.med.harvard.edu>
  Cdaemon
  R"|/home/listmgr/bin/wrapper resend -l test -h curie.med.harvard.edu 
  test-outgoing"

  Hsubject: test
  Hcontent-type: text/plain
  Hcontent-transfer-encoding: 7bit
  Hcontent-description: cc:Mail note part
     
     
  This is the body on the Unix side
     
  Approved: spim
  Test,
     
  test
     
  test
     
  Can this be fixed?????  Or has anyone found a solution for the double space 
  between the header and body on the original gateway???   The below solution 
  would not be feasible to us, since we really do not want to get in to 
  modifying every message that comes through.
     
  thanks for all your help.....

  The problem is that cc:Mail, or more exactly the SMTP gateway, doesn't allow 
  you to specify header fields directly.
     
  However, it may be possible for you to do what you want nonetheless.  I don't 
  know about the cc:Mail Link to SMTP, but I use the Link to UUCP package, and 
  from what I've read, the formats for how it handles things may be similar 
  enough for you to use a trick that I've found useful.
     
  Under your SMTPLINK directory, are there subdirectories called INBOX and 
  OUTBOX? 
     
  YES
     
   If so, you can just throw an RFC822 message (with a filename of "FAKEMAIL", 
  for example) into the OUTBOX directory, along with a corresponding 
  "FAKEMAIL.TO" file which contains a list of message recipients.  SMTPLink 
  should process this message as scheduled, keeping all headers intact.
     
  Try some fakemail experiments and verify that it works for you.  It should be 
  fairly simple to write a program that will add an "Approved:" header to a 
  message that you can save in to a text file from cc:Mail.
