Dangerous! What if he has the following lists:
dud
dudool
dudoolidoo
If he executes the above command for the list 'dud' he would remove the
other lists too;(
A safer pair of commands would be:
rm /path/to/majordomo/lists/listname
rm -r /path/to/majordomo/lists/listname.*
The second command would take care of the default archives as well.

The safest and most efficient way of doing it is to write a script to
remove the aliases and files and all, so every time you run the script,
all you need to do is give it a listname; the script does the rest;)
Better yet, write a multipurpose script to create lists, remove lists,
rename list, etc.
