Is it not possible because of logistic problems or is it something else?
If you receive a msg that bounces to you, all you have to do is pipe the 
message through the approve command that comes with majordomo. Just create 
a .majordomo file in your home directory. Here's an approximation of what 
mine looks like:

man-bytes-dog   xxx     [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mjtest xxx [EMAIL PROTECTED]
frambors xxx            [EMAIL PROTECTED]
patchell-olson xxx              [EMAIL PROTECTED]
p1tmm xxx                       [EMAIL PROTECTED]
tmm xxx                 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
danforthfarms xxx               [EMAIL PROTECTED]
save_sax_sc     xxx     [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So, column 1 is the list name. Col 2 is the passwd and col 3 is just the 
address of majordomo. 

Or am I missing something else?
