No. Well, it depends. It shouldn't allow you to do something that can
screw up your list, but it should allow you to undo something that's
screwed up with your list. Removing bad or duplicated addresses is a
classic example.

Though it doesn't help, 2.0 has removal by regexp, first matching or all
matching.

Lots of things in Majordomo violate the remote-admin idea. Fixing them has
led to a lot of the complexity of 2.0. My goal is to make the initial
installation the only thing you can't do remotely, although I doubt I'll be
able to get all the way there. (It requires reimplementation of cron and
programmed manipulation of system aliases in the case of sendmail.)
