Subject: majordomo annoyances

Hello,

I manage several majordomo discussion lists, using Majordomo
version 1.94.1 on a SUN Solaris 2.5 system and I would like to rid 
these list of a couple of annoyances.

	1) I have found that if anyone posting to a list includes 
	a majordomo command, "subscribe" for instance, in the body
	of their email then majordomo bounces this message to the owner.
	This in some ways is a nice feature, but "subscribe" can 
	obviously be used in conversation in addition to majordomo's
	uses.

	What options do I have in the configuration, if any, to 
	make this filtering less fatal to a posted message?  Or are
	all majordomo commands just NOT allowed in email messages?



	2) How can I configure majordomo so that attachments to posted
	emails don't cause a bounce (based on exceeding the max 	
	length).  Normally the attachments are just word documents,
	spreadsheets, small powerpoint presentations, etc.  I increased
	the list.config "maxlength" from 40000 to 100000 but even so
	an 800K attachment bounces due to exceeding the maxlength.

	Is there a general rule of thumb to determine this maxlength
	number based on what attachment sizes I wish to allow?



Thank you for your help!
