AIUI, you get the whole message bounced to you, what you do is send it
back to the list, with full headers, adding Approved: password before
them ie

your headers:

From: you
To: list

your message body:

Approved: your-password
Original message headers

This will keep all the original headers from the message. There
mustn't be a blank line before or after the Approved: line.

I don't think you can do that in Majordomo.

approve password who listname

(I think)

I imagine so, I have who_access closed in my lists.
