There'a few more... Such as starting a line with "get" and then having a
single word after that.
Anyway, the message is not fully bounced, it's just passed on to the
approval address for moderation. The moderator can then approve the
message and it will appear on the list. (Or not approve, if it's
something that shouldn't go to the list.)
I think it's pretty nice that Majordomo will weed out all the
"subscribe" and other commands sent to the list automatically, and even
those "How do I unsubscribe from the list?" questions, though of course
more configurability on when/what it matches on would be nice.
