I do not have any experience with majordomo but I know that, with mailman,
it is easy to do. If nothing else there could be a line put into the
sendmail access file that says
REJECT bad.relay.mailserver.mx
or just make shure that the person is subscribed before they can send email
to the list. Like I said though, I do not run majordomo and I am unfamiliar
with how it works. I am just assuming that this can be done.
Regards,
Ryan Williams
