Thanks for the advice. It's good for the spam that gets directed at lists,

But, now I realize I have another problem - spam that gets directed at
majordomo itself - which I seem to get several of a day. For these
messages, the following sequence occurs:

- the spam arrives at majordomo

- majordomo generates an error message interspersing the original spam
with lines reading >> **** Command ... not recognized, and then appending
the majordomo help file

- it then sends that heavily mishamshed message back to the avowed
sender

- the original sender address, usually, is either non-existant or has a
full mailbox, so...

- the majordomo error message gets bounced back to my postmaster address

So... to report the original spam to razor, I have to unmunge this whole
mess.  Sigh...

Miles
