I run a large majordomo installation-  nearly 300 lists, 700,000 subscribers. 
I get 400-500 subscribe/unsubscribe messages per week from hotmail.com 
alone. Problem is, neither hotmail nor yahoo-rocketmail use a standard 
.sig seperator, and their default .sig starts with the word "Get".  
Majordomo of course interprets this as a get request, and fails, 
generating a Help message for *every* hotmail or yahoo subscribe/
unsubscribe message.

Before I reinvent the wheel, I wonder if anyone has taken steps to 
prevent this at their own site.

Thanks.
-Pete
