Thanks for your response Dan. It certainly is messing with my un-unix 
head. I'm pretty sure that the list hasn't been hacked - it has only been 
recently set up, and the hacker is doing the same old thing, each 
evening. I'm sure they'd be having more fun than this by now. Another 
thing that I have noticed, though, is that the config files for the two 
lists I'm looking after seem to have dissappeared from the 
/usr/local/majordomo/lists folder. Instead there is a listname.old.config 
and a listname.config.save for one of the lists and a listname.old.config 
for the other. It appears to work despite this, but it is weird, no?
