Correct.  There are a couple of ways of protecting your OUTGOING LIST
ALIAS (your "listusers-list")... and these are outlined in the 
Majordomo FAQ (which comes as part of the Majordomo-1.94.5 tarball).

The FAQ explains at least two ways of fixing this problem with Sendmail.
Refer to the Postfix FAQ (http://www.postfix.org) for a solution, if
using Postfix as your mailer.
