There's only one place in the source where it occurs:
# Either the request is approved, or the list is open and the
# subscriber is the requester, so check to see if they're
# already on the list, and if not, add them to the list.
# Lock and open the list first, even though &is_list_member()

&lopen(LIST, ">>", "$listdir/$clean_list")
|| &abort("Can't append to $listdir/$clean_list: $!");

Blame your OS; the "File exists" part comes from it, not Majordomo. Mj's
just noting the failure to append to the file (eith error code 17, EEXIST)
and returns the OS error string.
I don't know why that particular error would come about; perhaps lopen is
failing in some other weird way which causes the error. Dave, you're the
locking expert; do you have any idea?
