Not necessarily effective, if email can get through the firewall
and someone determines the majordomo address.

In my environment, I added the following code to the majordomo script,
immediately after it checks for a valid reply_to address:

if ($reply_to !~ m/foo\.com/i) {
      &abort( "$whoami: not replying to $reply_to because not a FOO.COM address.\n");
      exit 0;
}

Seems to do the trick, but then nobody outside of FOO.COM can send
majordomo commands (which is just the way I want it).
