I think the non-member-bounce is an add-on/patch to majordomo 1.94.5 from
Joe's site, and not part of the standard distribution (yet).

ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/majordomo-patches/1.94.5/config_parse.pl-resend.0

While many (including myself) find this patch extremely useful, there
should be a warning that 90+% of internet mail today is spam, and more
than 90% of that is from a forged address that will either bounce, or
just anger an innocent recipient because your non-member message just
appeared to them as spam.

It is better to post rules for your list on a web page, or in the auto-
help message from majordomo than to risk the undeliverable, unexpected,
or unwanted auto-replies from your list.  Other choices/options are to
open your list, exposing it to much spam, or moderate it, exposing the
moderator to much spam.
