It doesn't get sent automatically; the Majordomo owner has to send it to
new list owners.  When I create a new list (automated through a perl
script) the file is "massaged" a bit to reflect the new listname and
automatically sent to the list owner.

Here's a snippet of the code which massages the list-owner-info file:

open(INFO,"$LIST_INFO") or die "Could not open $LIST_INFO: $!\n";
while (<INFO>) {
        s/FooBar.COM/$HOST/g;
        s/ListName/$list/g;
        print MAIL; 
}
close INFO;


The MAIL filehandle, obviously, is open and sending mail to the listowner;
the other variables have the appropriate local values.
