I just thought I'd let people know that majordomo was installed on my 
system and I had one list with 200 subscribers. I had setup the config file 
restricting post to a my email addresses as the list was being used for 
website updates. Because resend wasn't configured properly I hadn't done 
anything at all by changing the config values. As the list was only used by 
me I didn't know it wasn't setup properly until someone started spamming 
it. Hence who access was open as well so they have a list of my subscribers 
emails as well. The FAQ reads the following

If you changed your list configuration and the list doesn't seem to be 
behaving any differently, make sure that the list is being sent
through "resend". See the installation documentation and section 3.1 of 
this FAQ on how to set up the aliases for the list
correctly to pipe mail through "resend".
Other things to check would be that the arguments to "resend" are only 
"-h", and "-l" (and perhaps "-C" if you use virtual
domains). resend used to be configured with other command line flags to do 
things such as have moderated lists. However these
flags override any config file settings, so remove them if they are 
present. All configuration should be done now through the config file.
