Unfortunatey, no.  That's what makes it a little tougher.

Hmm...I hadn't thought about trying it that way.  Thanks.  I think I'll
give that a shot with a test list.

I'm using qmail with at least one virtual domain controled by a user,
i.e.: all mail for domain xxx.domain.yyy is controlled by a non-root user
using .qmail files in his home directory.

Other domains will remain under administrative control, the "root.dude"
will be responsible for them.

Not the "Recieved" lines, but messages originating from a
Majordomo installation working at domain.xxx should appear to come from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and list postings through that Majordomo should come
from [EMAIL PROTECTED], not domain.yyy.  Most likely, I'm guessing this
will involve pointing to different majordomo.cf files, and probably
modifing a copy of majordomo-inject and majordomo-dispatch for each
virtual domain.
