No. I mean, I have seen some mailing-lists that when you send a subscribe
command, Majordomo replies with a password for authorization. This is done
to validate the user's e-mail, or if he/she really send the subscription
message.  Then you have to reply with an auth command like this:

auth <passwd>
subscribe <list_name>

I wan't to make this because I' trying to write a small Web interface for
Majordomo, and it's really unsecure subcribe automatically every address
sent in a HTML form. 

Thanks.
