Perhaps. I guess I missed that statement in the docs, i.e. no intention
of ever going commercial or evolving into a full-featured MLM.

I suspect that I (actually Hewlett-Packard) will have to then. I know that
I'm not the only peron wanting added robustness (should be very clear what
that means), just the only one inquiring about it now. Again, I'd be happy to
be Majordomo's first commercial customer, and I'm sure not the last, but if
the author is not interested, that is his decision.
Signing off the list now, since I don't get it. So much for asking for new
features...
