I specifically *don't* want to forward the message to Majordomo,
even if it is a valid command syntax.  This would let the user think
that they can send subscription requests to the list posting
address.  I want to force the user to realize that they did the
wrong thing.  ("Bad user!  Bad!  Bad!" :-)  I just want to also
inform them automatically what the right thing is, without requiring
my personal response to do so.
