Hi - I'm not a subscriber to the majordomo-users list so I hope you all
don't mind this submission ...

I like the feature of the recent majordomo versions which keeps
most "administrative" requests out of mailing lists by bouncing them
to the list-owner.  However it does seem to a little on the
anal retentive side.  For example I haven't been able to get the
attached posting out!  Is there a way for the list-owner to over-ride
this check?

My apologies if this is a FAQ or a configuration option I
have over-looked.

Thanks in advance.

Bill

p.s. I am using majordomo version 1.93
