I don't think you understood what you read about approve (giving you
the benefit of the doubt here). Approve is run as *you*, the approver,
from your account, either receiving bounced messages piped from *your*
mail reader or from files saved from your mail reader. You set up the
.majordomo file in *your* home directory. You *don't* set up any aliases
and you don't forward the mail anywhere (although approve does). But
wouldn't that be a convenient way for spammers to approve their own
messages? :-)
(I had to look twice at the name to be sure this wasn't a troll... :-)
