Well, the help message returned by any majordomo server should make that
terribly obvious:
subscribe listname address@host.domain
works just fine, though it may require some approval. I have to say,
though, that that definitely isn't the question that you originally asked.

Bull. Sorry, but I have to ask if you've actually tried this. The
envelope sender is preserved in the From_ line, which is passed by Sendmail
to the delivery agent if configured to do so.. The envelope recipient is
generally obvious, though sendmail will strip off the `+' and any trailing
information and pass it as a separate argument to the delivery agent.
Really, I'm not lying. Perhaps you are thinking there's something else in
the envelope that you would need to do filtering?
Here's a sample procmail rule that works just fine for me:
:0:
*^From majordomo-workers-owner
spool/majordomo-workers.spool
which will trap and filter majordomo-workers mail even if majordomo-workers
was BCC'd or is nowhere in the message headers. It comes from the
envelope.
