Two questions:

1. We are running into some oddness where people sometimes use Eudora, and
are recognized by the Majordomo list as "person@aw.com" and sometimes have
telnetted in and are recognized as "person". Majordomo appears to be unable
to recognize that "person" sending e-mail from aw.com, is the same as
"person@aw.com". We are going to turn on munging addresses, but is this
likely to work? Have we set something up very wrong?

2. The default config files (version 1.92?) seem to indicate that archiving
doesn't yet work:
...
        # archive_dir        [absolute_dir] (undef) <majordomo>
        # The directory where the mailing list archive is kept. This item does
        # not currently work. Leave it blank.
archive_dir       =
...
Is this so, or did we just miss something? We =really= need to be able to
maintain automated archives....

3. I can't find the commands or whatever to include that customized page
that new subscribers get--the one that would let us (I hope) include stuff
beyond "Welcome to foo-talk", but "as a subscriber to foo-talk, you may
also be interested in knowing about these resources...."

I apologize if these are basic questions--feel free to send me to the
appropriate, but heretofore missed, docs and request that I rtfm.
