Hi all.

This is my first post here, and I hope this will be an easy one ...

I want to suppress the response to an approve through majordomo.  How do I
do so?

More detail:

I am subscribing users via the WEB who want to be subscribed to a specific
majordomo list which lives on another machine.  This is a simple cgi script
which opens a mail gateway to my majordomo with the simple command

	approve PASSWD subscribe <list> <email_address>

as expected.  Majordomo happily chugs along and receives this mail then
sends a response back to my originating party that the approve succeeded.  

This would be fine if I were running sendmail on the www machine which I am
not for security reasons.  This piles up my mail machine's sendmail since
the mail bounces (nothing to receive it) and clogs up my /var/spool/mqueue
directory.  I can deal with that via cron jobs, but that's a bit messy.

For these reasons I'd like majordomo to NOT send a reply in this specific
case, and I'd rather not hack the perl (but I will if I need to - I haven't
even looked at the source yet).

Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

Best,
