If you really want it to be foolproof, you have lots of time, and you
maintain your own system, you can use plus-addressing.  If you advertise
an address like this:

   majordomo+a1@yourdomain.com

your sendmail (or whatever MTA you have) could interpret this and
deliver to majordomo.  Majordomo would then have a procmail script
that would keep track of which publication code was used and forward
the message to the "real" majordomo.

Here's a URL if you want to know more.  If this doesn't make sense,
then it's probably too much work.
