Or modify majordomo to allow that keyword to be updated only by the
majordomo admin's password. (As a general concept this is a very good
thing for majordomo to have - specific list variables which are viewable but
not necessarily modifiable except by the majordomo owner.)

Yes, but that can easily be fixed.

Both of these are a big departure, but I think the latter is preferable.
It would be nice to do SMTP in a configurable way (like specifying
'$mailer = "SMTP:mailhost"', meaning to use internal SMTP to 'mailhost'
instead of calling an external program)
