Re: -outgoing-Lists and Security?

Hey Marc Haber!  I got your message about -outgoing-Lists and
Security?:

; When I create lists as recommended by the docs, I not only get the
; list itself, I also get an "outgoing" list:
; 
; >test-list:"|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test-list -h lists.mydomain.de test-list-outgoing"
; >test-list-outgoing: :include:/var/spool/majordomo/lists/test-list
[snip]

; I am concerned about "bad" people sending mail to test-list-outgoing
; instead of test-list. Is that a security risk? Would it be adviseable

Personally, I don't know about configuring the MTA, but what was done
at this site was to alter the -outgoing alias to something
non-standard.  It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as it's
internally consistent between the two lines in the aliases file.
