This gets asked just about daily.

Majordomo doesn't do it.

But then, it doesn't look like you're even using Majordomo, which leads
me to ask the question: why are you asking this list?

You could rewrite Majordomo to do it, but it'd be an awful lot of work. 
Majordomo would have to send the complete message to
sendmail(/your-mta-here) each time.

Or you could rewrite sendmail to do it, as well.

When you're done, be sure to let us know <smile>.
