I have a quick question .. I screwed up my subscription to a
majordomo-controlled mailing list and got a huge response back. What would
happen if a user were to do the following?

echo "subscribe badlist majordomo@hosta.com" | mail majordomo@hostb.com

I have a feeling the two would message each other for quite some time,
chewing up a few K with each email.

Are there protections in majordomo against this? (If not, the easiest I
can think of that would probably help, would be an "end" or line of dashes
at the top of the introductory email..)

Thanks :)
