Excellent feedback John. Thanks for contributing to this
list with that information. As for list configuration,
that can ALL be done via commands sent in email to the
majordomo@your.virtual.domain address. You might want
to download the actual .gz bundle from greatcircle.com
and look at the list-owner-info file for more details on
this one. The foobar.config file (any listname.config)
is created automatically by majordomo once any filename
without a dot (.) in the name is noticed in the "lists"
directory, and is the file that should be manipulated by
email to actually configure your list. You should not
need different aliases file entries to determine whether
or not a list is moderated. This is configurable via the
listname.config file. Read the resend file (perl script)
in the top 20 or so lines to see the authors comments
about using command line arguments in the aliases file.
