I did do a LOT of reading before I started this list, and thought I had it
all covered.  Config items you requested are listed below.  As I look at
the headers included in my original post, am I correct in saying it looks
like the auto-reply actually looks like a forged copy of original?  Except
for the extra 'Received:' lines, it's identical to original.  Perhaps
that's how it got through?

In virtusertable:

majordomo@cfyc.org              cfyc_majordomo
majordomo-owner@cfyc.org        fbax@execulink.com
Contacts@cfyc.org               Contacts
Contacts-Request@cfyc.org       Contacts-Request
Contacts-Approval@cfyc.org      cfyc06
Contacts-OutGoing@cfyc.org      error:nouser User unknown
Contacts-owner@cfyc.org         cfyc06
owner-Contacts@cfyc.org         cfyc06

In majordomo.aliases:
#       CFYC    Christ For Your City
cfyc_majordomo:         "|/home/majordomo/runtime/wrapper majordomo -C
/home/majordomo/runtime/cfyc.cf"
Contacts:   "|/home/majordomo/runtime/wrapper resend -l contacts -C
/home/majordomo/runtime/cfyc.cf Contacts-OutGoing,nobody"
Contacts-OutGoing: :include:/home/majordomo/runtime/cfyc/contacts
Contacts-Request: "|/home/majordomo/runtime/wrapper majordomo -l contacts
-C /home/majordomo/runtime/cfyc.cf"

Thanks, Frank
