Is this a BUG or is Wow, that's very much. I don't know how that goes with majordomo, because I use 'listserv' (not the usual one, just another one ;-), my opion is that majordomo is slow (written in perl)), but here I make an sendmail-alias which points to the list-members... works ok here. e.g.: example: /usr/mail/maillists/example and in the example files stands: me@localhost me@anotherhost and I think majordomo uses that notation to. advantage is that there's just one message in the queue, but maybe thats the same as it is with majordomo, but never used it. If you want to add something to the message, e.g. a 'Reply-to', you can write a simple programm... I wrote something like that in C. My listserv just adds an adress when subscribing to the /usr/mail/maillists/example so that works really nice, and fast.
