You can turn this feature off by changing this setting in your config file:
# administrivia [bool] (yes) <resend>
# Look for administrative requests (e.g. subscribe/unsubscribe) and
# forward them to the list maintainer instead of the list.
administrivia = no
There is a benefit if you leave it as is in your case (i.e.
administrivia=yes). As it says in the config, it will intercept requests
to sub/unsub that were sent to the list address instead of majordomo itself.
