MR> Referrer???

Well, not really.  Interfaces are supposed to do an initial access check
call in the 'access' request to see if a user is even allowed to access the
server; it could be passed in there, I suppose.  Otherwise I don't have
any way to pass something like that into the core.  It's really just an
interface detail.

Besides, after the user has navigated a few generated pages of the web
interface, isn't the referrer lost?  (Humor me here; I don't really do web
things.)

I don't understand what you mean here.  The web interface is (intended to
be) integrated into Majordomo; you can't visit any old site and have it
pump commands into your Majordomo server (unless it just sends email).

MR> With the majorcool and the mailserv things working -- and then there

Don't those just send email?  In which case the interface is 'email'.

MR> Subscribers could come to the list from an other sources.

But then doesn't that get logged by your web server?  I think that's
perhaps a better place to get that kind of data.
