You are trying to subvert all of the operating modes of Majordomo, so what
you want won't be easy.  How much hacking are you willing to do?

You can pipe a completely formatted message (with all of the proper headers
that sendmail would normally add) straight into resend.  But unless you do
some hacking, you'll still have an outgoing alias.

To get around that, you'll have to change the $mailer variable in
majordomo.cf to something that can deliver your list directly.  bulk_mailer
can do this, as can my TLB package.  I no longer support the TLB package,
but it does do this.

Or you could just wait for 2.0 to come out; it has no outgoing aliases and a
post command that will send messages to a list that has no incoming
aliases.

bulk_mailer is normally called from the outgoing alias.  You can do it
otherwise, but you're on your own there.
