I have run across a variance between the documentation provided 
in the config file and the actual behavior of the majordomo 
script.

When using the restrict_post feature the instructions state that 
you can use a space " " or colon ":" delimited filelist.  In 
practice the use of a space delimited list results in a failure 
while the colon appears to provide the correct and expected 
behavior.  I have reviewed the FAQ and cannot seem to find 
anything in there relating to this.  I would recommend that this 
be added to the FAQ.

restrict_post:  When using multiple files to determine who can 
post to a list the file names must be separated by a colon ":" 
only.  The use of the space character will cause majordomo to 
fail with a "file or directory not found" error.
