If you run 1.94.5 you can apply the following patch:

  ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/majordomo-patches/1.94.5/config_parse.pl-resend.1

Then do a writeconfig on your lists; then configure the lists and set the
value of: 

	non_member_bounce   =   sender

P.S.  Read the archives; you'd be surprised how many of your questions are
      already asked and answered;)
