Significance is only to add a user to the distribution of the alias
so that sendmail does not expand the information and make knowledge
of it available in the "Received:" headers of outoing messages from
the list. An alias like these would work just as well;
anybody: /dev/null
anyone: /dev/null
devnull: /dev/null
and the appropriate change to test that looks like one of these;
test: "|/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test test-list,anybody"
test: "|/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test test-list,anyone"
test: "|/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test test-list,devnull"
The "anybody:" alias would not require a passwd entry any more than
your test or test-request aliases do.
