Speaking of which, does anyone know anything about the "special"
version of MJ1 (1.94.3+) that's floating around out there?  Apparently
it's got some added features like a "nomail" command.  I'm just curious
to know the story behind it, if there is one.  Jason's concerns
here are well founded - there are people out there who will tell you
that "majordomo has a nomail command".  Probe a bit further and it
turns out that it's this 1.93.3+ version (it's in use at esosoft.com).
