This is easily disabled by editing majordomo.pl and changing

    # if there's a "|" or a "/" in it, it's hostile
    if (tr/|\//|\// != 0) {

to read

    # if there's a "|" or a "/" in it, it's hostile
    if (tr/|/|/ != 0) {

(This still leaves the check for "|" enabled...)

In majordomo 1.93, checking for hostile addresses is a configurable
option, disabled by default, which you can enable by changing

    $analyze_slash_in_address = 0;
to
    $analyze_slash_in_address = 1;

in /etc/majordomo.cf.
