Indeed.  Majordomo can be a major pain in the poop deck if you don't do
things just right.  Majordomo is also used by a few other lists I am on,
and it certainly is not faultless.

When using majordomo, follow the instructions to the letter, literally. 
If it does not mention a subject line message, leave the subject field
empty.  If it asks for "auth473g83y400473" (for example only), then
highlight the auth code, cut it and paste it on to a reply letter. 
Remove the " " and make sure you have everything it wants.  Which I
found means nothing but the auth code.  Now send it.

Give that a try Pat, I hope it works.
