	I think that you would like to know that I found the hard way that there is a variable you must be aware of when setting up a digest list.
	The outgoing alias for a digest list is usually in the form:
		$list-outgoing
	However, many of us want to hide the outgoing aliases for protection (besides disabling vrfy and expn).
	So if I have outgoing aliases in the form:
		$list-outerworld
	My digests won't get sent.
	One must modify the ~majordom/majordomo file accordingly, for the $list-outerworld in the format $list-$extension is hardwired in a variable inside this file.
	The variable is $list-outgoing, line 1119.
	So for outgoing aliases like $list-outerworld, one would need to modify ~majordom/majordomo file variable $list-outgoing to read 'outerworld' instead of the standard 'outgoing'.
	This is really annoying. It should be mentioned somewhere in a FAQ (IMHO).

	Regards,
		Mario Ferreira.
