Lsoft's Listserv has a feature which requires the subscriber's 
confirmation before the subscription becomes active. Usually this 
requires just responding to the confirmation alert from the server.

Is there a similar feature/script for majordomo? Such a feature will
kill such evil schemes to a large extent. And the intended victims 
will be alerted that their names are targets.
