Only if you feel you're up to it.

The answer to your question depends on which version you have and whether
or not you use the M4 configuration macros.  Try searching the manual for
'privacyflags'.

Not if you have TLB installed.  All you can possibly get is the command
line that resend is called with, which with TLB just shows 'nobody' as the
outgoing alias.

Am I missing something, or is this a complete non-sequitur?  Majordomo 2
has all messages longer than a couple of lines (i.e. welcome text, help
messages, etc.) broken out into files that the list owner has remote
control of.  In addition, none of the command names are hardcoded anywhere
and you can add additional command aliases easily.  Short messages are still
coded in; perhaps a future version will work towards removing them by
making global message arrays.  I wanted to do this from the beginning, but
it was just too much work.

Well, I don't really need testers for TLB since I'm not going to work on
it.  All of my effort is going into Majordomo 2 (which, by the way, can
always use more input even if you're not willing to contribute code).
