Perhaps it would be enough for you to just add subs for POSTPONE and
NOMAIL that send back a file of instructions. When I first set up
Majordomo, I fed the -request addresses to it directly -- and *later*
added code to recognize a subscribe command without a listname and
stuff in the name of the list that the -request was for. Didn't get
any complaints -- people typically got a help-bounce, and figured out
how to deal from that.

I'll grant that it might not be all that polite... but it is
informative, and doesn't take much effort on the user's part to get
what they want...
