I have moved a few lists from Majordomo to Mailman.  The Mailman
machine is a different machine that the Majordomo machine.  So,

     [EMAIL PROTECTED]

became

     [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and I added an entry to the alias file on the Majordomo machine
redirecting mail.  Someone sent mail to

     [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and the mail was received by Mailman but held for approval because
the list name was not in the "To:" or "Cc:" lines.  I had to change the

     require_explicit_destination

parm from "True" to "False" to get around this.  Once all of the
posters use the new list address, I can remove the alias and change
this parm back to "True".
