Over here, we've got some lists whose membership ideally should be
automated.  That is, we have a database of users.  Certain list memberships
are based on the results of periodical queries to the database.  All of
this is done by a completely different machine and scp'd over to majordomo,
so normally, majordomo doesn't need to worry about it.

But we have a few problems.  Some users try to unsubscribe themselves from
these lists, only to be re-subscribed the next time the update is done.
Also, sometimes listowners try to add users, and encounter the opposite
problem.

The second problem is relatively trivial to solve, but the first is much
more tricky.  I was thinking hacking around with 1.94.4, but before i do:
is some facility to handle this sort of issue going to appear in 2.0?  Or
is this situation wacky enough to be unique?  :)

TIA.
