  I have forwarded notes to the tech at netshooter.  The best way to do
things is likely via a simple PHP script that would allow someone to
maintain the  [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address forwarding.

The file that Sendmail uses looks like this (BIND reads the file and
distributes it to redundant email servers, but sendmail does the actual
email forwarding):

postmaster      HS      TXT     "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
mailer-daemon   HS      TXT     "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

root            HS      TXT     "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
sudhir          HS      TXT     "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

majordomo       HS      TXT     "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
majordomo-owner HS      TXT     "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
owner-majordomo HS      TXT     "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

...etc... - there is also the references for this mailing list.

The PHP script could be as simple as a program that manipulates a text
file with me just writing a simple PERL script to convert to the above
format (Doing a bit of security paranoia and validation on the file).

Note:  This is someone that should know other list members as they would
be the one that would need to 'verify' that a change in forwarding came
from the actual member and not someone else ;-)
