I've seen a number of such requests come and go on this list, so
here's what I did.  I added two new config options, "anon_who"
and "anon_which".  Their purpose is to implement per-list privacy
options.  Even list members can't do a "who list" if "anon_who"
is set, and "which other-address" commands skip lists with
"anon_which" set.  In order that the list owner can still see
who's subscribed, I also made it possible to approve a who
request.  This part is not clean, since the existing "approve"
code wants more arguments than a "who" command normally needs.
Thus, you wind up needing to do "approve PASSWORD who LIST ." or
somesuch to get the desired result.  It's that wart on this that
has kept me from posting this earlier.

Anyway, appended are the relevant sections of diffs for my setup.
Your line numbers will almost certainly vary, since I have other
changes besides.

I'm not getting very far out of the starting gates, and the documentation
that comes with the package doesn't seem to cover my problem...  

Here's what happens:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
% make install
(test ! -f majordomo.cf  && echo "using sample.cf" &&  cp sample.cf
/usr/users/majordom/majordomo-1.93/majordomo.cf; exit 0)
using sample.cf
(test -f majordomo.cf  && echo "using majordomo.cf" &&  cp majordomo.cf
/usr/users/majordom/majordomo-1.93/majordomo.cf; exit 0)
using majordomo.cf
cp: /usr/users/majordom/majordomo-1.93/majordomo.cf and majordomo.cf are
identical (not copied).
*** Error code 1

Stop.    
---------------------------------------------------------------------

And there's no getting past that... Any suggestions?  Ideas?  HELP!

Thanks!
 Eric
