So you want to send some kind of autoresponse when mail is sent to the
list?  Majordomo doesn't really do that either, since it either passes mail
through or bounces it for approval.  It never rejects anything.

Of course, the request-answer script (which comes with Majordomo) is a
simple autoresponder and it would take three lines of extra code to have it
log the from address to a file.  Just make a copy, change the message that
is sent in reply, and after the close(MAIL); line, add

open LOG ">>/path/to/log/file";
print LOG "$reply_to\n";
close LOG;

You could also add some info like the current time or anything else you
might like.

Majordomo can be made to do anything; you have the source code.
