Sendmail expects an "owner-listname" for each mailing list, and if I
recall correctly so does Majordomo. Where and for what is
"listname-owner" used by either? The only possibility I can think of is
by resend, but only if in your listname.config you specify "sender =
listname-owner" instead of the default "sender = owner-listname".
The Majordomo FAQ refers to RFC 1211 for an explanation of
"owner-listname" and "listname-owner". "owner-listname" is discussed in
that RFC, but I can't find any mention of "listname-owner".
FWIF I don't use "listname-owner" in my Majordomo aliases.
