Well, that's one against and a mound for. I can think of other redeeming
things to do with an 'mj_command', like a convenient autoresponder, so I'll
look into writing it.

I think everyone using SmartList would disagree with you. Having spend
some hours in the SmartList source, I'd say that it is hackish, but no less
so than Majordomo. Is Procmail coupled with shell scripts any worse than
Perl?
One thing I never understood about MLMs that only use command-addresses or
commands in the subject are how they manage 'global' things, like the
'lists' command. Or remote configuration.
